Sadness usually comes and goes. Depression tends to last most of the day, nearly every day, for two weeks or more. It can include losing interest in things, changes in sleep or appetite, low energy, trouble concentrating, and feeling worthless.
If this sounds familiar, speak with a doctor or therapist. Depression is common and treatable. If you have thoughts of suicide, call or text 9-8-8 right away.
This is general information, not therapy or a diagnosis. Everyone's situation is different.
