Mental health plays a crucial role in shaping the way we think, feel, and respond to life’s challenges.

Living with these conditions can be overwhelming, but the good news is that effective treatment, early diagnosis, and professional guidance can significantly improve quality of life.

Understanding Depression & Anxiety

Mental health conditions are often misunderstood, yet they are among the most impactful disorders affecting daily life, relationships, and work performance.

What Is Depression?

Depression is more than just feeling sad or low. It is a clinical condition that affects mood, thoughts, behavior, and overall health. People with depression often experience persistent sadness, lack of interest in activities, fatigue, and difficulty functioning in daily life.

Common Symptoms of Depression

Continuous sadness, emptiness, or hopelessness
Loss of interest in hobbies or routine activities
Changes in appetite or weight
Sleep disturbances (insomnia or oversleeping)
Fatigue and low energy
Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, or helplessness
Physical symptoms like headaches or digestive issues
Thoughts of self-harm or suicide (requires immediate help)

What Is Anxiety?

Anxiety is a natural response to stress, but when excessive or uncontrollable, it becomes a disorder. Anxiety affects the mind and body, causing intense worry, fear, and tension.

Common Symptoms of Anxiety

Constant worry or overthinking
Restlessness or inability to relax
Rapid heartbeat or palpitations
Shortness of breath
Sweating or trembling
Difficulty sleeping
Sudden panic attacks
Fear of social situations
Feeling overwhelmed or out of control

Why Depression & Anxiety Should Never Be Ignored
