Depression

Depression, often characterized as a profound feeling of sadness or hopelessness, can envelop an individual, making even daily tasks seem insurmountable. Its symptoms are manifold: from feelings of worthlessness, persistent fatigue, changes in appetite, and sleep disturbances to more severe manifestations like thoughts of self-harm or suicide. What makes depression particularly challenging is its ability to distort perception, making it difficult for those affected to see beyond the encompassing darkness.
