Depression

Depression is a common mental health disorder characterized by persistent sadness, loss of interest in activities, and a range of physical and emotional problems. It affects how a person feels, thinks, and handles daily activities. Causes of depression include genetic, biological, environmental, and psychological factors. Treatment typically involves a combination of medication, such as antidepressants, and psychotherapy. Cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) and interpersonal therapy (IPT) are effective in treating depression. Lifestyle changes, such as regular exercise, a healthy diet, and adequate sleep, can also improve symptoms. Depression can occur alongside other medical conditions, complicating treatment and recovery. Early detection and intervention are crucial for better outcomes. Social support from family and friends plays a significant role in recovery. Stigma surrounding mental health issues can prevent individuals from seeking help, highlighting the need for increased public education. On-going research aims to uncover new treatment options and understand the underlying mechanisms of depression.
