Mental Health Treatment

Depression is so much more than just feeling blue. While it is normal to feel sad from time to time, for people with depression, life feels utterly devoid of joy. If you feel hopeless, incapable of finding pleasure in things you were once passionate about, or unable to summon the energy and concentration required for you to complete your daily tasks, you may be suffering from depression.

What are the Symptoms of Depression?

Depression manifests in different intensities and durations. There are different types of depression, each with distinct characteristics. Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) involves intense emotional pain and functional impairment; Persistent Depressive Disorder (Dysthymia) features a chronic, milder sadness lasting at least two years; and Bipolar Depression, which is a part of bipolar disorder, is characterised by alternating periods of depression and mania or hypomania.
