Depression Therapy
Depression is a common mental health disorder that affects how a person feels, thinks, and behaves. It can cause a persistent feeling of sadness, hopelessness, and loss of interest in activities that the person once enjoyed.
Depression can also affect a person’s ability to function in daily life, work, and social situations.
Symptoms of depression may include:
- Persistent sadness, hopelessness, or feeling empty
- Loss of interest in hobbies or activities
- Changes in appetite or weight
- Sleep disturbances (insomnia or oversleeping)
- Fatigue or lack of energy
- Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
- Thoughts of self-harm or suicide
- Physical symptoms such as headaches or stomachaches without a medical cause
Depression can be caused by a combination of genetic, biological, environmental, and psychological factors. It is a treatable condition, and there are several effective treatments available, such as talk therapy (psychotherapy), medication, or a combination of both. Seeking professional help is essential for proper diagnosis and treatment of depression.
