Depression

Depression is also known as major depressive disorder or clinical depression. It is a type of mood illness characterized by a continuous sense of sadness and a loss of interest. It affects how a person thinks, feels, and behaves and could result in a number of mental and physical issues. You can find it difficult to carry out daily tasks, and you might even feel as if life is worthless. 

Depression can worsen and linger longer if it is not treated. It could also cause self-harm or even death in severe circumstances. However, the good news is that treatments for depression can be highly helpful in alleviating the associated symptoms.
