We all must have felt sad and depressed at some point in our lives. It is very common and normal to feel sad due to failure, struggle and separation. But if feelings like unhappiness, sadness, helplessness, and hopelessness persist for a few days to a few months and make a person unable to carry on with his routine normally, then it can be a sign of a mental disease called depression.
According to WHO, more than 300 million people worldwide suffer from this problem, in India this figure is more than 50 million, which is a very serious problem. Depression usually begins in adolescence or 30 to 40 years of age, but it can occur at any age. Women are more likely to suffer from depression than men. Apart from mental factors, hormonal imbalance, pregnancy and genetic defects can also be the cause of depression.
