Depression Awareness

Depression Awareness involves understanding that depression is a common, serious mental health condition characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, loss of interest, and a range of emotional and physical symptoms. It affects how people think, feel, and behave, often impairing daily functioning. Awareness helps reduce stigma, encouraging individuals to seek support and treatment. Recognizing depression's signs fosters compassion and understanding, emphasizing that it is a medical condition—not a weakness—and that effective help is available through therapy, medication, or a combination of approaches. Increasing awareness promotes early intervention, leading to better outcomes and improved quality of life.
