What is depression?
Depression is more than just feeling sad.
Depression is a common and deeply impactful experience that affects millions of adults, shaping how they feel, think, and navigate everyday life.. It can cause persistent sadness, loss of interest in things you used to enjoy, and difficulty concentrating or getting motivated. It doesn’t look the same for everyone.
You might be experiencing severe sadness that prevents you from functioning in daily life, or you might feel a constant state of malaise. Some people have been navigating it for years, while others may be experiencing it for the first time and aren’t quite sure what’s going on. And sometimes, it shows up during big life shifts — like losing a job, going through a breakup, or having a new baby — when everything already feels uncertain.
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. What you’re feeling is valid and we’re here to help.
Symptoms of depression

- poor concentration
- feelings of excessive guilt or low self-worth
- hopelessness about the future
- disrupted sleep
- changes in appetite or weight
- exhaustion and fatigue
