What it is
Depression is more than a bad week. It’s a stretch of low mood, low drive, or lost interest that hangs on for weeks and gets in the way of work and home.
For many people it shows up as irritability, anger, numbness, overworking, or drinking more, rather than sadness. It’s common, it’s not a character flaw, and it responds well to treatment.
Common signs
- Losing interest in things you used to enjoy
- Low energy and motivation, even on days off
- Irritable, short-tempered, or numb
- Sleeping too much or too little
- Pulling away from friends and family
- Feeling like a burden, or like nothing will change

FAQ
Is it depression or just stress?
There’s real overlap. If low mood or lost interest has lasted two weeks or more and it’s affecting your life, it’s worth an evaluation.
Will antidepressants change my personality?
The goal is to feel more like yourself, not less. If a medication doesn’t feel right, you adjust it together at follow-ups.
How long does treatment take?
Many people start feeling better within 4 to 8 weeks of starting a plan. Follow-ups take about 20 minutes.
