Depression
Depression is more than just feeling sad. We all have sad days here or there.
But, if you’re experiencing a low mood and sadness persistently for weeks or months, it could be a sign of depression.
Depression is a broad term that covers several mental health conditions, each characterised by persistent feelings of sadness, emptiness, hopelessness and a loss of interest in your usual activities. It is a common condition, with 1 in 7 Australians experiencing it in their lifetime. That’s 2.83 million people, just in our country.
