A simple definition of depression -
Depression is an illness characterized by persistent sadness and a loss of interest in activities that you normally enjoy, accompanied by an inability to carry out daily activities, for at least two weeks. There isn't a specific reason or CAUSE of depression. We are not sad bc of something. Noone can say or do anything to change the state of depression. It is a chemical imbalance in the 🧠. Thus, the chemical imbalance theory -The chemical imbalance theory suggests that depression results from changing levels of neurotransmitters in the brain. Untreated depression can lead down a long path of self destruction, behavioral issues, more mental health problems, symptoms of physical health issues due to the depression, substance abuse, self harm and even suicide.
