What Is Depression?

Depression is a common mental health condition that affects mood, thoughts, and overall well-being. It can cause persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or loss of interest in daily activities. People with depression may also experience changes in sleep, appetite, energy levels, and concentration.

While everyone may feel down at times, depression is more intense, long-lasting, and can interfere with daily life. With proper evaluation and treatment, individuals can manage symptoms effectively and regain emotional balance.

How Can I Tell If I Have Depression?

Depression affects people in different ways, but common signs include persistent sadness, loss of interest, or changes in daily functioning. If several of these symptoms last for two weeks or more, it may be time to seek professional help:

Signs You May Be Experiencing Depression

  • Family history of ADHD or other neurodevelopmental disorders

  • Exposure to smoking, alcohol, or drugs during pregnancy

  • Premature birth or low birth weight

  • Childhood exposure to environmental toxins (e.g., lead)

  • Brain injury or developmental complications early in life

How can I manage my depression?

Managing depression involves a combination of strategies, including therapy, lifestyle changes, and building strong support systems. Regular exercise, healthy nutrition, adequate sleep, stress management, and counseling can all help improve mood and overall well-being. In some cases, medication may also be recommended to support recovery.

 
 

Antidepressants

Antidepressants are medications prescribed to help balance brain chemicals that affect mood and emotions. They can reduce symptoms of depression, improve focus, energy, and sleep, and support other treatments like therapy and lifestyle changes for long-term emotional well-being.
