What is depression?
Depression is a mental health condition. It can be caused by stressful life events, medical conditions and can also be genetic. We all have down days, but depression involves having a low mood for a prolonged period of time and it impacts daily life.

There’s a huge spectrum of how depression presents. It can be loss of interest in normal activities, changes in sleep patterns, fatigue and feeling hopeless.
