If so, you may be experiencing depression!

What is depression?

Depression can have a significant impact on your overall feelings of well-being and can come into your life, quite uninvited. Depression can impact many areas of your life including your work, personal life, relationships, social life and even your physical health.

Depression can affect people in a number of different ways. You might struggle to get out of bed, or you might just not be functioning to the level you usually do and feel a sense of murkiness just below the surface. Maybe you feel sad and hopeless with a lack of energy and lack of enjoyment in life. Fatigue with a lack of focus and attention to tasks may be difficult for you. There might be other physical symptoms too, such as poor sleep, low appetite, or little interest in sex. You may be drinking alcohol more than you would like or taking drugs.

Depression can occur in the context of a number of factors such as:

• genes
• stressful life events
• family or intimate relationship problems
• low self-esteem
• lack of personal or career goals
• medical conditions
• substance abuse
• hormonal changes

Or maybe there are no particular identifiable causes.
