What Is Depression?
Depression is a serious mental health condition that affects how a person feels, thinks, and manages daily activities. It goes beyond typical sadness, involving persistent feelings of hopelessness, lack of energy, and a loss of interest in previously enjoyed activities.

- Bipolar Depression: Episodes of depression alternating with periods of mania or elevated mood.
- Postpartum Depression: Depression following childbirth due to hormonal changes, stress, or other factors.
- Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Depression linked to seasonal changes, often occurring during winter months.
Common Symptoms:
- Persistent sadness or emptiness.
- Loss of interest in hobbies or activities.
