If you find yourself feeling more down than usual during the winter months, you might be suffering from seasonal depression, also known as seasonal affective disorder (SAD). Seasonal affective disorder can seriously disrupt your life and prevent you from enjoying activities associated with wintertime, including the holidays.
Major depressive disorder is one of the most prevalent mental health conditions in the United States, affecting approximately 7% of American adults each year. Symptoms of depression can include feelings of intense or persistent sadness, loss of interest or pleasure in daily activities, fatigue, feelings of guilt or worthlessness, thoughts of death, difficulty concentrating, and more.
Although sadness is a normal part of life, most people find that their sadness comes and goes quickly, and is usually tied to a challenging life experience, such as losing your job or going through a divorce. However, sometimes feelings of sadness become more intense and last for an extended period of time.
Everyone experiences anxiety at one point or another, but for most people, the experience is short-lived and fleeting. When feelings of anxiety persist for an extended period of time, they can begin to impact your quality of life and may require treatment with medication.
Feeling sad or blue once in a while is just a part of life, but when you feel this way for more than two weeks, you might be suffering from major depressive disorder. This common mental health condition affects people of all ages, and it can be hard to overcome if you aren’t sure where to turn.
Major depression, also referred to as major depressive disorder, is one of the most common mental health conditions impacting the United States. An estimated 17.3 million adults aged 18 and older, which equals 7.1 % of all adults in the United States, experienced at least one major depressive episode in 2017 alone.
Depression and anxiety are common mental health conditions that touch nearly everyone at one point or another. Whether you personally suffer from depression, anxiety, or both, you for sure know someone else who does and the major impact it has on a person’s life.
