Depression is a mental health condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It can manifest as persistent sadness, hopelessness, or a lack of motivation. While it is a common condition, its impact on daily life can profoundly affect everything from work and relationships to personal well-being.

Depression can present itself in various ways, and it’s essential to recognize the symptoms to seek the appropriate help. Common signs include:
- Loss of interest in activities once enjoyed
- Changes in appetite or weight
- Difficulty sleeping or oversleeping
- Fatigue or loss of energy
- Feelings of worthlessness or excessive guilt
- Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
- Thoughts of death or suicide
If you or someone you know is experiencing these symptoms for an extended period, it may be time to seek professional help.
