What is Depression

You haven’t left your home for the past week, your room is in disarray, and your fridge is empty. You have texts and voicemails from friends checking in, but you can’t muster the energy to respond. You probably should eat, since the last proper meal you had was 2 days ago but your still not hungry and you don’t have the energy to throw on your sweats and go to the grocery store. You cry because you feel so helpless and hopeless but you don’t know what to do as it feels like your brain and your body are working against you. This is just one of the many ways that depression symptoms can manifest.

Depression is a complicated disorder and often misunderstood. Depression is more than sadness or momentary unhappiness. Those who have struggled with depression describe it being a deep form of despair or misery, where it feels like no matter what happens this deep sense of pain will always be along for the ride. It’s a complex mood disorder that is caused by many different factors such as genetics, personality, environment, and stress levels.
