Overcome depression and improve your mood
Are you struggling with depression?
Feeling sadness or having a loss of interest or pleasure in daily activities may happen to all of us. But if it persists and affect our daily lives substantially, it may be depression.
Depression is a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness or emptiness and loss of interest. Also called major depressive disorder or clinical depression, it affects how you feel, think and behave and can lead to a variety of emotional and physical problems. You may have trouble doing normal day-to-day activities, and sometimes you may feel as if life isn't worth living.
Depression typically consists of episodes during which the symptoms last for at least 2 weeks and can persist for years.
Depression can be effectively prevented and treated. The earlier you get help and seek treatment, the faster you may be able to work through and overcome depression.
“Globally, more than 264 million people of all ages suffer from depression. Depression is a leading cause of disability worldwide and is a major contributor to the overall global burden of disease.”
