Noticing someone close to you who might be struggling with depression can be tough, but your support can make a huge difference.
Recognising the Signs of Depression1
Depression can manifest in various ways, including:
- Persistent sadness or emotional numbness
- Changes in sleep patterns and appetite
- Loss of interest in activities and social withdrawal
- Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
- Thoughts of self-harm or suicide
