Day 37: Depression and Suicide
In this episode, I talk about depression and the circumstance that may lead to thoughts of suicide.
Depression is a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest. Depression is a word that we use a lot in everyday language to describe feelings of sadness, feeling down or disappointment, however, clinically it is major depression that is more intense, lasts longer, and interferes with effective normal functioning with our normal daily routine.
I also look at how depression is linked to suicide.
