Depression
अवसाद (डिप्रेशन)
Depression is a common, treatable medical condition — not weakness or a lack of willpower. It is more than sadness: persistent low mood, loss of interest, low energy, and changes in sleep and appetite lasting more than two weeks, affecting daily life. It is very treatable with therapy, support, and sometimes medication. Thoughts of suicide or self-harm are a medical emergency that needs immediate help.
