❌ Myth: Depression is just sadness.
✅ Fact: Depression is a medical condition that can affect how a person thinks, feels, and functions in daily life.
During Depression Awareness Month, we join organizations across the country in helping raise awareness and reduce stigma surrounding mental health conditions. Depression can impact people from all walks of life, and symptoms may extend beyond sadness to include changes in energy, concentration, sleep, and overall well-being.
Seeking support is not a sign of weakness. It is a step toward healing. If you or someone you care about is struggling, know that help is available and recovery is possible.
