14% of suicides are caused by depression or other mood disorders.
Depression is a serious condition characterized by a persistently low mood lasting more than two weeks. It often comes with a lack of self-confidence, loss of enthusiasm, and pain with no clear cause. While some people experience symptoms in episodes, others may deal with them constantly.
The condition negatively affects a person's personal life, work, education, sleep, eating habits, and overall health.
The cause of depression is a combination of genetic, environmental, and psychological factors. Risk factors include a family history of depression, significant life events, certain medications, and chronic health problems.
