Depression is not a sign of weakness. It is a medical condition — a mood disorder characterised by persistent sadness, loss of interest, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and sometimes thoughts of self-harm. Depression affects people of all ages and backgrounds.
Signs You May Be Experiencing Depression
- Persistent low mood for more than two weeks
- Loss of pleasure in activities you once enjoyed
- Changes in appetite or sleep patterns
- Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
- Feeling worthless or excessively guilty
- Withdrawing from family and friends
