Depression quotes that help me understand my feelings and experiences
Depression quotes help you express and cope with your
feelings. Depression is a serious medical condition that affects the way you
behave, feel, and think. It causes a loss of interest in daily activities
and even activities you once enjoyed. One in every 15 people suffer from
depression
in a year and one in six may experience it in a lifetime (APA, 2013)
Depression is a difficult concept and not everyone understands it. The ones
who suffer or have suffered through this clinical illness know the emotions
and feelings that run through them. Seeing other people not understand can
make you feel a lot more frustrated. At times others may say that it s all
an act and it is all in your mind which can worsen
depression.
To overcome mental health issues, you may require help from trained
professionals. You can get
