Depression Quiz
Depression is not the same as feeling sad or blue occasionally. Everyone experiences ups and downs in life, but depression is more than that. Depression is a chronic condition that lasts for at least two weeks and affects your mood a majority of the time.
It can have many causes, such as genetic, biological, psychological, social, and environmental factors. Some people may be more prone to depression than others due to their personality, life experiences, or family history. Depression can also be triggered by stressful events, such as trauma, loss, or illness.
Psychotherapy can help you cope with your thoughts and feelings and change negative patterns of thinking and behavior. Some people may also benefit from natural remedies and lifestyle changes, such as exercise, meditation, or social support.
