Depression. A commonly used term by many to term most negative or uncomfortable feelings we experience. Experiencing a bad day? Stressed? Annoyed? Frustrated? Or even Hungry? We often term it as \u2018I am feeling depressed\u2019. Have we ever wondered or researched what depression actually is?<\/p>

Depression is something that affects many of us. It is not just limited to extreme sadness or despair that lasts for days; it can also have a profound impact on our daily lives. We may find ourselves experiencing mood swings, losing interest in things we used to enjoy, and experiencing changes in our sleep and appetite. The longer it goes unacknowledged, the more it can become a chronic condition, leading to further impairments and potentially pushing us towards extreme measures like self-harm or even thoughts of suicide. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 280 million people worldwide are currently dealing with depression. When we think about it, that’s a staggering number. It may seem like a small percentage, around 3.8%, but when we consider the actual number of individuals suffering, it becomes clear that this is an issue that should not be taken lightly. <\/p>
