Depression is one of the most widespread mental health issues and what differentiates it from the normal sadness is the duration and the other symptoms associated with it.
The WHO estimates around 350,000,000 people suffer from depression around the world. It is the second biggest cause of death after heart diseases. And depression can often lead to other illnesses as well.
"You feel sad all the time, you find it very difficult to motivate yourself to do something." This is a symptom that a lot of us can relate to these symptoms.
Depression is a very complex problem and it is very easy to overdiagnose someone. You might be sad after a breakup. That doesn't necessarily mean you are depressed; being sad is characterized as normal in this scenario.
Although a complete diagnosis can only be done by a psychiatrist, one very obvious sign to look for to find if you have depression is to look at the duration of the symptoms. For example, if you've been sad for several weeks, then it is safe to assume that you may have clinical depression. But even then, the verdict rests with your psychiatrist.
The happiness hormone, aka dopamine affects our mood and how 'happy' we feel. Other hormones, like seratonin and oxytocin also come into play. Depression is, in laymen's terms, a result of imbalance of these hormones in the brain and disturbed brain activity in emotion regulating parts of the brain, like the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, anterior cingulate and frontal lobe.
There can be several factors contributing to depression, some of which can be, but aren't limited to:
Although symptoms vary a lot, some key symptoms too look out for are:
Treatement for depression can include medication, therapy sessions, rTMS, and even help from Betterfe
Depression is a very complex mental health issue and it also the fourth most common disease. It is absolutely nesessary that we talk about it with each other. Share your thoughts with your family and friends, or with us
Have a great day, and remember,
You're not alone.

As a sign of gratitude for how my son was saved from autism, I decided to reach out to those still suffering from this.My son suffered autism in 2017 and it was really tough and heartbreaking for me because he was my all and the symptoms were terrible, he always had difficulty with communication, and he always complained of poor eye contact.

I searched for a cure and I saw a testimony by someone who was cured and so many others with similar body problems, and he left the contact of the doctor who had the cure to autism.
