Feeling down occasionally is a normal part of life. But when those feelings last for weeks or interfere with your daily life, it may be something more serious—like depression or major depressive disorder (MDD).
At Aimergency Connect Healthcare, we believe in helping you understand what you're going through and guiding you to feel better, whether you're struggling with mild sadness or severe depression.
🧠 What Is Depression?
Depression is more than just feeling sad. It's a mental health condition that can affect your mood, thoughts, physical health, relationships, and motivation.
Everyone’s experience with depression is different, but common symptoms include:
Persistent sadness or emptiness
Loss of interest or pleasure in activities
Low energy or fatigue
Changes in appetite or weight
Trouble sleeping or sleeping too much
Feeling hopeless, guilty, or worthless
Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
Thoughts of self-harm or suicide (in severe cases)
💡 What Is Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)?
Major Depressive Disorder is a more intense and long-lasting form of depression. It's not something you can "shake off." It often requires clinical support and treatment.
To be diagnosed with MDD, symptoms typically:
Last two weeks or more
Interfere with daily functioning (work, school, relationships, etc.)
Are not caused by a physical illness or substance use
🚨 When to Seek Help
If you're experiencing:
Sadness or hopelessness that lasts more than 2 weeks
Changes in appetite, sleep, or energy
Difficulty functioning in daily life
Isolation or withdrawal from loved ones
Suicidal thoughts or self-harm urges
➡️ It’s time to talk to a professional. Depression is treatable. And you don’t have to wait until it gets worse.
