How Persistent Sadness Disrupts Life—and How Recovery Begins
Understanding Major Depression
Major depression affects more than mood—it can take over every part of life, draining energy, motivation, and the ability to enjoy once-meaningful experiences. Symptoms must last at least two weeks to meet the criteria for diagnosis, but often persist much longer without treatment.
Common symptoms include:
Ongoing feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or emptiness
Difficulty sleeping or sleeping excessively
Fatigue, low energy, or a loss of interest in daily activities
Appetite changes and weight fluctuations
Trouble concentrating or making decisions
Physical discomfort without a clear cause
Thoughts of self-harm or suicide
Depression may occur alone or alongside conditions like anxiety or bipolar disorder. Factors such as genetics, past trauma, chronic stress, or imbalanced brain chemistry can all contribute to its onset. Although major depression is serious, recovery is possible with professional care that addresses both the emotional and physical dimensions of the disorder.
