What is Depression? Understanding Symptoms, Causes and Treatment

Depression is a common but serious mood disorder that affects how you feel, think, and handle daily activities. It is not a weakness or a character flaw, and people who experience depression cannot just snap out of it. Symptoms of depression include persistent feelings of sadness, loss of interest in activities, changes in appetite or sleep, difficulty concentrating, and thoughts of suicide.
