Understanding Depression and Its Symptoms

Depression is more than just feeling sad or down; it is a serious condition that can affect anyone, regardless of age or background. Left untreated, depression can significantly impair work performance, strain relationships, and diminish the overall quality of life. 

Depression manifests in various ways, and its symptoms can differ from person to person. It is crucial to recognize the symptoms early and seek professional help to manage and overcome this condition. 

Common signs include:

  • Persistent feelings of sadness or emptiness
  • Hopelessness, irritability, and anxiety
  • Loss of interest in once-enjoyable activities, including hobbies, social interactions, and sexual activities
  • Low self-esteem and overwhelming guilt
  • Chronic fatigue and difficulty concentrating or making decisions
  • Sleep disturbances and appetite changes
  • Suicidal thoughts or a strong urge to escape
  • Physical symptoms like headaches, cramps, or digestive issues
  • Inability to fulfill work or caregiving responsibilities
