Things You Don’t Know About Depression

Depressive disorder, sometimes known as depression, is a prevalent mental health problem that can strike anyone.

It is characterised by persistently low mood or a considerable lack of interest or pleasure in activities that lasts for an extended length of time.

Unlike typical mood changes in everyday life, depressed episodes last at least two weeks and last the majority of the day.

Depression can include interrupted sleep, eating problems, low self-esteem, and thoughts of hopelessness.

They may also be thinking about death. Fatigue and difficulties concentrating are both common complaints.

Depression results from a complex interaction of social, psychological, and biological factors.

Individuals who have endured abuse, substantial losses, or other traumatic situations are more likely to develop depression.

Furthermore, difficulties encountered in educational and professional settings can contribute to depression symptoms.

Prevention strategies have shown promise in lowering the incidence of depression. Depression can also be managed with proven psychological therapy and drugs.

However, these resources are sometimes unavailable or difficult to obtain, especially in low- and middle-income nations.

It is believed that more than 75% of people with mental illnesses in these places do not receive treatment.
