Depression Is More Common Than You Think

Depression is a medical condition that affects how you feel, think, and function in daily life. It is not a sign of weaknessor something you can simply “snap out of.” Millions of people experience depression each year — and with the right help, most recover fully.

​

Common Symptoms:

• Persistent sadness or low mood

• Loss of interest or pleasure in activities

• Changes in sleep or appetite

• Fatigue or low energy

• Difficulty concentrating

• Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, or hopelessness

• Thoughts of self-harm​

If you’ve been experiencing several of these symptoms for more than two weeks, a screening can help you understand what’s going on and what to do next.
