Depression is a common yet serious mental health condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It is characterized by a persistent feeling of sadness or emptiness and a loss of interest in activities that were once enjoyable. While it’s normal to feel sad or down at times, depression involves a prolonged and more intense experience of these feelings that can interfere with daily life.
Some common symptoms of depression include persistent feelings of sadness, irritability or emptiness, and a loss of interest in activities that were once enjoyable or fulfilling. Individuals may experience poor concentration, feelings of excessive guilt or worthlessness, and a sense of hopelessness about the future. Changes in sleep patterns are also common, as are changes in appetite and weight. Additionally, people with depression often feel physically drained, experiencing extreme tiredness or low energy.
Depression can be caused by a combination of factors, including genetics, chronic health conditions, trauma, stress or hormonal changes. Without treatment, depression can worsen over time, potentially leading to severe consequences such as self-harm or suicide.
At Monarch, we offer a variety of treatment options, including therapy, counseling and support, designed to help individuals manage their depression and regain a sense of control over their lives. Reaching out for help is an important first step toward recovery.
