When getting through the day feels harder than it should. You don’t have to pretend that you’re okay.

While everyone experiences feelings of sadness from time to time, depression is something much more complicated. Depression is a mood disorder that can affect how people think, feel, and function on a daily basis. Millions of people suffer from depression every year. If you are one of them, you are certainly not alone.

Symptoms of depression can vary from person to person. Some may experience few symptoms, while others experience several. These symptoms could range from feelings of sadness, hopelessness, guilt, isolation, fatigue, change in appetite, loss of motivation, and loss of interest in previously enjoyed activities. Those affected by depression may also experience difficulties concentrating, thoughts of self-harm, and negative thinking patterns.
