Understanding Depression
The term “depression” is often misunderstood or misused in our society. It’s more than just “feeling sad.” Depression can affect every aspect of your life, clouding your thoughts, draining your energy, and making even the simplest tasks feel overwhelming. Left untreated, it can lead to severe emotional and physical health issues.
Depression can affect anyone, regardless of age, gender, or background. It manifests in different ways depending on a person’s unique circumstances. While there’s no single cause, depression can be influenced by a range of factors—biological, environmental, and psychological.
According to the National Institute of Mental Health, approximately 7.3 million adults (or 7.1% of the population) in the United States suffer from depression. It’s one of the most common mental health conditions, but it is also highly treatable.
