What is Depression
Clinical depression is a mood disorder that causes persistent, intense feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a loss of interest in things you once enjoyed. However, it takes many forms and is much more than just feeling sad.
It’s a serious, treatable medical illness that can deeply affect your mood, physical energy, ways of thinking, sleep patterns, and daily motivation. For some, these changes come on gradually over months or years, while for others, they can appear suddenly.
