Depression
What is Depression?
Depression is a prevalent mental disorder that affects an individual’s emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. Those grappling with depression often endure a diminished interest in once-enjoyable activities and may face sleep-related challenges such as insomnia or excessive sleeping. Additional symptoms encompass changes in appetite, low energy levels, and difficulties with concentration.
Various factors can contribute to depression, including genetic predisposition, chemical imbalances in the brain, hormonal changes, and stressful life events like trauma, loss, or relationship issues. Treatment programs for depression typically involve a combination of therapy, medication, and support from loved ones. In instances where depression coexists with substance use disorder, a dual diagnosis approach may be incorporated for comprehensive assistance.
Warning Signs of Depression
Recognizing the warning signs of depression is pivotal for early intervention and support. Common indicators include:
- Persistent Sadness: Feeling consistently down, hopeless, or empty.
- Loss of Interest: Disinterest in once-enjoyable activities such as hobbies or socializing.
