Common symptoms:
- Persistent sadness or emptiness and loss of interest in activities
- Changes in sleep, appetite, or energy
- Difficulty concentrating and a feeling of discouragement
When to seek care? If these symptoms persist for several weeks or interfere with work, studies, or relationships, seeking professional support is an important step toward well-being.
