"Depression is more than just a low mood, it’s a serious condition that affects your physical and mental health. Everybody can feel moody, sad or low from time to time, although when these feelings persist and grow more intense for long periods of time (weeks, months or years) it becomes something much more serious and life altering. Depression doesn’t always have to have a “good” reason and can be caused by many factors, there doesn’t have to be a reason for how you feel. The chemicals in the brain that are responsible for controlling your mood could be out of balance causing you to still feel bad physically and mental even if everything in your life is going well. Other factors like your genetics, brain chemistry imbalances, hormones, seasonal changes, life events, can also trigger depression. Depression is a hidden illness, some people can seem upbeat and cheerful, but inside they’re struggling with the symptoms of depression, which can lead to people being misunderstood or ignored creating feelings of being unwanted, lonely, miserable, lacking in confidence or self-worth, etc.
