Let’s start on the topic of Depression
We do feel depressed from time to time because of certain events in our lives or just because of a bout of the blues especially on Mondays?!
Depression is also known as the common flu of mental health disorders because of the commonness in our lives and it affects everyone at one point or time.
Depression that is of concern is the mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest in our usual activities. The formal psychiatric diagnosis of major depressive disorder or clinical depression affects how you feel, think and behave and can lead to other emotional and physical problems. You may have difficulties doing normal day-to-day activities, and sometimes you may feel as if life is just too hard.
Sadly, many who do not understand fully about clinical depression often see it as a weakness and provide the well-meaning advice of just "snap out" of it. Clinical depression may require long-term treatment and most people with depression feel better with medication, psychotherapy or both.
