Depression can be caused by a combination of genetic factors and environmental factors, meaning that some people are more susceptible to it than others.
Stress often is a contributing factor to depression.There is a range of different symptoms of depression, and each person may experience depression a bit differently.
Depression can present itself as anger, irritability, persistent sadness, sudden lack of enthusiasm for activities that would usually be a hobby, increase or decrease in appetite (and as a result, increase or decrease in weight).
For most, money problems are all too familiar and a huge cause of stress.
Some mental health issues are short-term, and treatments like counselling, a short course of anti-depressants and/or therapy may help a person through this time.
Other mental health issues, such as Bipolar Disorder, are permanent and need to be managed.
Mental health is about how we think, feel, and behave.
Anxiety and depression are the most common mental health problems.
It gets difficult to talk about how it feels due to ashamed of getting judged.
