Depression is a common disorder that affects how you feel, think, and act. It can cause persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and loss of interest in things you used to enjoy.

Depression can also interfere with your daily functioning and well-being. Depression is not a sign of weakness or a character flaw. It is a treatable condition that can be managed with medication, psychotherapy, or both.
There are different types of depression, some of which require medical intervention, if you feel you are having a depressive episode, it is advisable to seek help.

Some of the common symptoms of depression include:

Feeling sad, empty, or tearful most of the time
Losing interest or pleasure in activities you used to enjoy
Having trouble sleeping or sleeping too much
Feeling tired or low in energy

Feeling guilty, worthless, or hopeless
Having difficulty concentrating, remembering, or making decisions

Depression can be caused by a combination of biological, psychological, and social factors. Some of the possible causes of depression include:
