Depression
What is Depression?
Depression is more than temporary sadness or stress. It is a clinical condition characterized by persistent low mood, hopelessness, lack of motivation, and reduced pleasure in daily activities. If left untreated, depression can affect academic performance, work productivity, relationships, and physical health. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment significantly improve outcomes.
