Depression involves low mood and reduced engagement in activities, affecting thoughts, behavior, feelings, and well-being.
Depression is a mental state characterized by low mood and aversion to activity. It affects a person’s thoughts, behavior, feelings, and overall sense of well-being, often reducing the pleasure or joy they would normally get from experiences. Along with sadness or dejection, people may experience reduced motivation and loss of interest in activities. Core symptoms commonly include persistent low mood, loss of interest or pleasure, and changes in thinking such as difficulty concentrating. Sleep and appetite can also be affected, with symptoms ranging from hypersomnia (sleeping too much) to insomnia, and from overeating to anorexia. Some individuals also experience feelings of hopelessness or lack of hope, and in more severe cases may have suicidal thoughts.
