The days are getting shorter & Depression rates begin to increase this time of year, so let’s talk about that! Symptoms of depression commonly get mistaken for laziness, which is seen as a socially unacceptable way to cope with life. The fact is, depression causes a lack of energy and motivation to do daily activities 🧠
