What is Depression? | Mental Health Awareness _____________________________________________ DISCLAIMER: This project is for awareness and educational purposes only, and should not be used to diagnose yourself or substitute a professional diagnosis. If you think that you are depressed, I highly advise you to seek professional help from someone who is qualified to assist with your troubles. Thank you! _____________________________________________ Music : "Awaken" from Yevhen Onoychenko from Pixabay This project includes what depression is, the causes of depression, symptoms, what it feels like to have depression, and what the difference is between sadness and depression. Something I didn't add into the project is that depression and anxiety tend to co-occur. Now, I don't see any projects about depression when I search for them, so here is one! If you or someone you know is going through a really hard time, don't keep it a secret because it can end up really badly sometimes. _____________________________________________ Make sure that you and them are not alone and there is always help available to you! It might seem completely hopeless and not worth it, but I promise that it gets better eventually. Don't take the easy way out. Prove you're strong by overcoming it! It will take time, but studies show that up to 60% of those with depression receiving treatment notice improvement just after 6 to 8 weeks! Sometimes it can take longer, it just depends. But know that it can get better! _____________________________________________ #depression #mental #health #awareness #educational #disorders
