Depression
What It Is and How Support Can Help
Depression can feel like a persistent lack of energy, motivation, or joy. A heaviness that affects mood, thoughts, and daily functioning. Many people experience prolonged periods of low mood or diminished interest in activities that once felt meaningful. These experiences are common and human, and they reflect patterns of thinking and behaviour that have become entrenched over time.
Rather than a personal failing, depression signals a need for support, clarity, and new ways of engaging with life.
Common Experiences
People experiencing depression may notice:
Persistent low mood or emptiness
Reduced interest in activities previously enjoyed
Fatigue, slowed thinking, or difficulty concentrating
Changes in sleep or appetite
Withdrawing from others or reduced motivation
Negative self-view or hopelessness
These experiences vary widely from person to person. They can be distressing and affect many areas of life, including work, relationships, and personal fulfilment.
