Depression: What is depression, and how do we treat it?
What is depression?
Depression is when we feel stuck in sadness, emptiness, or heaviness for a while and cannot simply snap out of it. We feel hopeless, worthless, and guilty. We find it hard to concentrate, and the things that used to give us some joy have lost their shine. We feel tired, irritable and trapped. Sometimes we think of suicide or have ongoing thoughts about death.
