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.
