What Is Depression?
Depression, also known as major depressive disorder, is a common but serious mood disorder. It causes persistent symptoms that affect how you feel, think, and handle daily activities, such as sleeping, eating, or working. For a clinical diagnosis, these symptoms must be present for at least two weeks.
Common Symptoms of Depression
-
Persistent sad, anxious, or 'empty' mood.
-
Loss of interest or pleasure in hobbies and activities.
-
Significant changes in appetite, weight, or sleep patterns.
-
Feelings of profound fatigue or decreased energy.
-
Difficulty concentrating, remembering details, or making decisions.
Understanding the Causes of Depression
Depression does not have a single cause and often results from a complex interplay of factors. These can include genetics and family history, brain chemistry, and significant life events such as trauma or chronic stress. Our approach at Uriel Behavioral Wellness Inc considers the whole person to understand the roots of your experience.
