What Is Depression?

Depression is more than just feeling sad—it’s a serious mental health condition that affects mood, thoughts, and physical well-being. It can interfere with daily activities, relationships, and overall quality of life.

According to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), millions of Americans experience depressive disorder each year. However, with professional mental health treatment, recovery is possible. Seeking help is a sign of strength, and taking action is the first step toward feeling better.

Signs and Symptoms of Depression

Depression affects everyone differently, but common depressive symptoms include:

Persistent sadness or emptiness

Loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed

Changes in sleep patterns, including insomnia or excessive sleep

Difficulty concentrating or making decisions

Fatigue and lack of energy

Feelings of worthlessness or excessive guilt

Changes in appetite or weight

Thoughts of self-harm or suicide

If you are in crisis, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 988.

Clinical depression can range from moderate depression to severe depression, and symptoms may fluctuate over time. If these depressive symptoms resonate with you, know that effective psychological treatment is available. BrightPath Mental Health is here to help you regain stability and improve your well-being through online depression counseling.

Common Causes and Risk Factors for Depression

Depression is influenced by a combination of factors, including:

Biological factors, such as imbalances in brain chemistry and hormones

Genetic predisposition, including a family history of depression

Life circumstances, such as trauma, major transitions, or chronic stress

Chronic illnesses, including conditions that affect physical health

Substance use, including alcohol or drug use, which can contribute to or worsen depression

Some individuals experience persistent depressive disorder, which is a long-lasting form of depressive disorder that can impact daily life. Others may develop psychotic depression, where delusions or hallucinations accompany depressive symptoms.

Even if you don’t know the exact cause of your depression, online treatment for depression can help. You don’t have to figure this out alone—our mental health professionals are here to support you.
