Understanding Depression
Depression is more than just “feeling down” or having a difficult day. It is a mental health condition that can affect how you feel, think, and function in daily life.
Depression may show up in many ways, including:
-
Emotional symptoms: persistent sadness, hopelessness, guilt, irritability
-
Physical symptoms: fatigue, changes in sleep or appetite, aches or tension
-
Cognitive symptoms: difficulty concentrating, indecisiveness, intrusive negative thoughts
-
Behavioural symptoms: social withdrawal, lack of motivation, decreased interest in hobbies or relationships
Depression can look different for each person. Some may feel weighed down by constant low mood, while others may feel emotionally numb or disconnected.
Regardless of how it shows up for you, you don’t have to face it alone.
