Depression is one of the most common mental health issues. One in five people will experience depression at some point in their lives. In these challenging times, the number of people feeling lonely, more anxious, and depressed has sharply increased.
Depression, a disease like any other. It hurts. It ruins our quality of life. If you have not been feeling mentally well for a longer period, it could be a depressive mood or a depressive disorder. Neither should be underestimated. Depression can be treated. Depressive disorder is a serious and long-lasting mental disorder, where deep sadness and despondency prevent us from experiencing joy and pleasure in life for a long time. If depression is treated, improvement comes relatively quickly. However, untreated depression can have serious impacts on your life. Depression is among the most common causes of death if left untreated.
Don't hesitate to ask for help, just take the first step! The first step can be simply talking to someone who understands how challenging it can be when we don't feel mentally well. If you think you are depressed or just don't know what's wrong with you, feeling somewhat strange, arrange a personal, phone, or online consultation with a psychologist.

What might people with depression say
"Mornings are the worst; I know I have to get out of bed, but it's like lifting half a ton of cement."
"For the past two months, I've felt like I'm living in complete darkness – I see the lives of people around me passing by, but nothing makes sense to me. Every day I tell myself I need to pull myself together, but I can't."
