Depression is one of the most common mental health conditions, yet it often goes unrecognized due to stigma and hidden symptoms. Some people struggle visibly, while others appear fine on the outside but feel exhausted and drained within. This post explores how depression impacts both adults and adolescents, the importance of breaking stigma, and key symptoms to watch for—including sadness, sleep disturbances, and loss of interest in activities. It also highlights treatment options like therapy, lifestyle changes, and supplements, while reminding readers that seeking help is not weakness, but an essential step toward healing and recovery.
