Depression

Depression is a mental health disorder that affects a person's mood, thoughts, and behavior. It is characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a lack of interest in activities that were once enjoyable. Depression can also cause physical symptoms such as changes in appetite, sleep disturbances, and fatigue.

Depression can have a significant impact on a person's daily life, including their ability to work, study, and maintain relationships. It can be caused by a variety of factors, such as genetics, brain chemistry, life events, and other medical conditions.

Treatment for depression may include medication, psychotherapy, or a combination of both. It is important to seek professional help if you or someone you know is experiencing symptoms of depression, as early intervention can greatly improve outcomes and quality of life.
