Depression is a common mental health condition that can affect a person's mood, thoughts, daily activities and overall quality of life. It may involve persistent sadness, loss of interest, low energy, difficulty concentrating and changes in sleep or appetite. With appropriate psychiatric evaluation and personalised treatment, individuals can work towards improved emotional well-being and recovery.
Depression can affect people differently and may develop due to a combination of psychological, biological, social and environmental factors. A psychiatric assessment helps in understanding the individual's symptoms, concerns and overall mental health needs before deciding on an appropriate course of care.
