DEPRESSION
CONDITION
Depression is a common but serious mental health condition that affects how a person feels, thinks, and functions daily. It can cause ongoing sadness, fatigue, and loss of motivation, impacting relationships, work, and overall quality of life. Depression often results from a combination of biological, psychological, and environmental factors.
TREATMENT
Treatment typically includes comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and therapy collaboration. The goal is to restore emotional balance, improve energy, and help individuals reconnect with a sense of purpose and well-being.
Common Signs and Symptoms:
- Persistent sadness, emptiness, or hopelessness
- Loss of interest in once-enjoyed activities
- Changes in appetite or sleep patterns
- Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
- Low energy or constant fatigue
- Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, or helplessness
- Physical aches or pain without a clear cause

At this age, depression often appears during life transitions — college, early career, or relationship stress.
Common Symptoms:
- Persistent low mood, emptiness, or lack of interest in daily life
- Difficulty concentrating or staying productive at school/work
- Social withdrawal or loss of connection with others
- Fatigue, low motivation, or “mental fog”
- Sleep changes (insomnia or oversleeping)
- Appetite fluctuations and weight changes
- Irritability or emotional numbness
- Excessive self-criticism, guilt, or low self-esteem
- Difficulty making decisions or planning ahead
- Recurrent thoughts of worthlessness, death, or suicide
