What is depression?
Depression is a mood disorder that affects how a person feels and can disrupt how they function in daily life. A lot of people describe depression as feeling sad or down and being uninterested in things that you used to enjoy.
While everyone feels sad or down at times, there is a difference between being sad and being depressed. Usually if we feel sad, we know what we are sad about. With depression you may feel sad, hopeless, guilty, or feel nothing at all for weeks or longer and you may not really understand why.
Depression is treatable and symptoms can improve with therapy, lifestyle changes, and in some cases medications. While it can feel overwhelming to ask for help and get mental health care when you are experiencing depression, it is important. Let us help connect you to care.
