Finding the Light within the Darkness
Depression is a mental health disorder that affects millions of people worldwide. It is characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a loss of interest in activities that were once enjoyable. Symptoms of depression can vary from person to person, but commonly include a lack of energy, changes in appetite and sleep patterns, difficulty concentrating, and a loss of pleasure in daily life.
It is important to note that depression is not simply feeling down or sad occasionally, but rather a prolonged state of distress that significantly affects one's ability to function. It is a complex condition that can be caused by a combination of genetic, environmental, and psychological factors. Seeking professional help and support from loved ones is crucial for managing depression and improving overall well-being.

Counselling can also assist individuals in developing coping strategies and problem-solving skills to better manage their depressive symptoms. Additionally, therapists can provide support and guidance in building a support network, improving self-care practices, and exploring healthy lifestyle changes.
