Depression

There are many forms of depression. It has symptoms like sadness, hopelessness, loss of interest or pleasure and insomnia. You may not realize that you or someone you know has it, whether it’s severe or not. And you may not realize that you or someone you know needs help.

A depressive disorder may be accompanied by the symptoms above and/or by painful emotions such as sadness, depressed mood, hopelessness, guilt, worthlessness and emptiness. But, a person suffering from depression may say that he or she does not feel depressed. They may simply think they are unhappy or they may be unable to experience pleasure. And this is common.

People experience depression differently due to many biological and environmental factors. And it can be a dangerous illness.
