Depression, what is it?๐ค Depression is one of the most common mental health conditions. Whilst everyone feels low, sad or lacking in energy from time to time, people with depression experience these feelings more intensely and for longer periods of time. During an episode of depression, a person might find it hard to carry on with normal daily tasks. A person with depression may have recurring negative thoughts, which may be suicidal thoughts, or thoughts of distress and anxiety.
