Understanding Depression
Depression isn’t just “feeling sad” — it’s a deep, ongoing struggle that can affect how you think, feel, and live your daily life.
💡 Common signs:
Feeling sad, empty, or hopeless for weeks
Loss of interest in things you once enjoyed
Low energy, feeling tired all the time
Trouble sleeping or sleeping too much
Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
Feeling worthless or guilty
🧠 Why it happens:
Depression can be triggered by many factors — stressful life events, changes in brain chemistry, hormonal shifts, or even without any clear reason. It’s not a sign of weakness.
❤️ Remember:
You’re not alone. Depression is common and treatable. With the right support — therapy, self-care, lifestyle changes, and sometimes medication — recovery is possible.
📌 If you or someone you know is struggling, reach out to a mental health professional or a helpline.
🌱 Healing starts with one small step.
