UNDERSTANDING “DEPRESSION”

With the current state of the world situation there is an increase of stressors in the environment. This can affect people’s physical and mental health. The word “depression” is commonly used by people explaining their feeling of sadness or tiredness. The common use of the word depression has caused confusion whether they are feeling sad or they are depressed. Sadness is a normal human emotion responding to an external stimulus, however if the feeling of sadness prolongs for over 14 days or is accompanied by other symptoms, it can lead to depression.
