Mental health Depression

Depression is not just a phase of feeling down. When you’re depressed, you experience a range of intense symptoms that last weeks or months.

The illness affects your moods and your sleep. It steals your appetite, your interests and ability to concentrate. It can make you feel as though your life isn’t worth living. These symptoms reflect a change in the neurochemistry of your brain.

Depression can sneak up on children, adolescents, and adults. And sometimes they don’t even realize they have it.
