Depression

You might feel sad when you are depressed, but depression is not the same thing as sadness.

Depression is the loss of joy, motivation, and meaning in life. It can happen slowly over time through unhealthy lifestyles and unsupportive environments. It can emerge suddenly after a painful life event such as the loss of a loved one or livelihood. 


If you or a loved one is struggling with depression, don’t wait to get help. The best time to plant a tree is ten years ago, but the second best is today. 


Depression is a health issue that can consume you and your life if left unaddressed. Depression is a common but serious mental health issue that impacts every aspect of life – relationships, physical health, work success, and more.
