| What is it? |
| We all have the odd bad mood day but depression is much more serious than just feeling a bit grumpy. It’s an illness caused by a chemical or hormonal imbalance that’s either prompted by a high-stress situation or is part of your genetic programming. It can dominate and seriously disrupt the life of sufferers – they become both physically and emotionally fragile. Classic symptoms of depression include: |
| |
| • |
Extreme sadness and crying. |
| • |
Feelings of hopelessness. |
| • |
Loss of appetite. |
| • |
Lack of energy. |
| • |
Lack of motivation. |
| • |
Lack of concentration. |
| • |
Insomnia. |
