Depression is a widespread emotional condition affecting 21 million Americans, but for some, it becomes debilitating, hindering day-to-day functioning. Symptoms of depression can include feelings of sadness, hopelessness, emptiness, anxiety, anger, and irritability, along with loss of interest in once enjoyable activities, lack of pleasure, disrupted sleep patterns, changes in weight and appetite, and fatigue. Depressive symptoms can affect memory, and cause difficulty in focusing, making decisions, and completing tasks. Additionally, depression may be accompanied by physical manifestations, presenting as body aches and back pain, headaches, and can escalate to a point where individuals struggle to manage their daily lives effectively. And in severe cases, people can experience thoughts of death or suicidal ideation.
There are many treatment options for depression and it’s essential to understand that each person’s journey is unique.
