Support for Depression
Depression is a serious mental health condition that can affect how you feel, think, and handle daily activities. It’s not just about feeling sad—it’s a combination of emotional, physical, and mental challenges that can impact every aspect of your life. Understanding depression is the first step in getting the support you need. Symptoms can include persistent sadness, loss of interest in activities, changes in sleep or appetite, difficulty concentrating, and feelings of worthlessness. Depression can feel isolating, but it’s important to know that help is available.
