Depression

We can all have times in our lives where we feel low or sad. These feelings are normal, especially when there are events going on in our lives that have made us upset or caused difficulty. But if these feelings persist, it can be a sign of depression.

Depression is a mental health problem that involves having a persistent low mood. It can change the way you feel and can take the enjoyment from life. It can also cause a range of other changes to how you feel or behave. Depression can be experienced as mild, moderate and severe.
