Depression
Depression is more than feeling sad, it is a persistent low mood, loss of energy and loss of pleasure that affects all areas of life.
What is Depression?
Depression affects how you feel, think and function day to day. It is one of the most common mental health conditions worldwide and one of the most treatable. Without treatment, depression tends to worsen. With the right support, most people recover fully.

Frequently asked questions
Will antidepressants fix depression?
Medication can help, especially for moderate to severe depression. Therapy alone is also effective, and combining both often gives the best results.
How do I know if I'm depressed or just sad?
Sadness is a normal response to loss. Depression is persistent (weeks, not days), pervasive and impairs functioning across multiple areas of life.
