Depression is the most commonly diagnosed mental health condition.
It is a low mood and/or a loss of interest in activities once enjoyed.
Depression can last for weeks, months or even years and often interferes with a person’s daily life, making it hard to cope.
The signs of depression are often hard to spot. But, did you know that the term “depression” can refer to multiple different diagnoses?
