Feelings of severe despondency and dejection. Depression is a mood disorder characterised by persistently low mood and a feeling of sadness and loss of interest. It is a persistent problem, not a passing one, lasting on average 6 to 8 months. Diagnosis of depression starts with a consultation with a doctor or mental health specialist. It is important to seek the help of a health professional to rule out different causes of depression, ensure an accurate differential diagnosis, and secure safe and effective treatment.

I used to think I was just going through a tough time, thinking it was just nothing, however the persistence of my emotions and the way I feel just couldn’t be ignored so I decided to go to the doctors about it; it was then that I had found out I have depression and anxiety.

Get the Depression mug.
Feeling alone. Feeling like no one cares. Feeling like nothing matters. Crying for no reason. Wanting to kill yourself. Feeling like your worthless. Feeling like you don't mean anything. Feeling like your invisible. Wanting to disappear. Wanting just listen to sad music. Not wanting to be around anyone.
