LET'S TALK ABOUT DEPRESSION

Depression is when someone feels really down, empty, or tired for a long time—it’s more than just a bad day. People with depression might lose interest in things they used to enjoy, struggle with sleep, or feel hopeless about the future.

It can happen for different reasons, like stressful events, loneliness, or even chemical imbalances in the brain. But the good news is, depression can be treated! Therapy, support from loved ones, staying active, and sometimes medication can help.
