Depression is a mental illness that goes beyond occasional sadness. It is characterized by a profound feeling of hopelessness, loss of interest in daily activities, feelings of guilt, low self-esteem, and disruptions in sleep and appetite.
Depression can affect a person’s normal functioning in various areas of their life, both personally, socially, and professionally.
Addressing depression is essential for several reasons. Firstly, this condition can cause significant suffering for both the affected individual and their loved ones, negatively impacting their physical and mental health.
Secondly, depression is linked to a higher risk of developing other serious illnesses, such as cardiovascular problems, diabetes, obesity, or dementia. Thirdly, depression can lead to self-destructive behaviors and, in extreme cases, suicide.
