It's a complex mental health condition that affects millions of individuals around the world, influencing their mood, thoughts, physical health, and daily activities. Depression can manifest in various forms, including persistent sadness, loss of interest in previously enjoyed activities, changes in appetite and sleep patterns, and difficulty concentrating. It's a condition that doesn't discriminate, affecting people of all ages, backgrounds, and walks of life.
Understanding Depression with Dr. Nirzaree Parikh:
Depression is more than just a fleeting sadness. It's a complex mental health condition that affects how you feel, think, and handle daily activities. Dr. Nirzaree Parikh describes it as a "persistent cloud that dims the vibrancy of life," impacting one's ability to work, study, eat, sleep, and enjoy once pleasurable activities. Recognizing depression is the first step towards healing. If you've been feeling overwhelmingly sad, hopeless, or indifferent for more than two weeks, it might be time to seek help.
When to Seek Help
Recognising when to seek help for depression is a crucial step toward healing.
If you find that your feelings of sadness or despair have persisted for more than two weeks, it may be time to reach out. Other indicators include a noticeable change in your functioning at work, school, or in social situations, experiencing feelings of hopelessness, or having thoughts of self-harm. Remember, seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. It's the first step in taking control of your well-being and moving toward a happier, healthier life.
