Depression
Depression is a common but serious mental health condition that can significantly impact mood, thoughts, and daily functioning.
Key information you should know
- Depression affects people of all ages and can vary in severity.
- Symptoms often include persistent sadness, fatigue, and loss of interest in activities.
- Effective treatments are available, including therapy and lifestyle strategies.
Depression is more than just feeling sad; it’s a complex condition that affects mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Symptoms include low mood, hopelessness, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and changes in sleep or appetite. Left untreated, it can impact relationships, work, and overall quality of life.
Evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness-integrated CBT can effectively treat depression by helping individuals manage symptoms and develop healthier thought patterns.
