Depression, or major depressive disorder, is a serious mood disorder causing persistent sadness and loss of interest, affecting how you feel, think, and act, leading to daily life problems, with symptoms like fatigue, sleep/appetite changes, hopelessness, and potential suicidal thoughts. Causes involve brain chemistry, genetics, stress, and medical issues, while treatments typically combine psychotherapy (talk therapy), medication, and lifestyle changes (exercise, social connection), often requiring trial and error for effective management.
