🌧️ Understanding Depression & Major Depression: When to Seek Help

By Aimergency Connect Healthcare – Your Partner in Mental Wellness

Feeling down occasionally is a normal part of life. But when those feelings last for weeks or interfere with your daily life, it may be something more serious—like depression or major depressive disorder (MDD).

At Aimergency Connect Healthcare, we believe in helping you understand what you're going through and guiding you to feel better, whether you're struggling with mild sadness or severe depression.

🧠 What Is Depression?

Depression is more than just feeling sad. It's a mental health condition that can affect your mood, thoughts, physical health, relationships, and motivation.

Everyone’s experience with depression is different, but common symptoms include:

• Persistent sadness or emptiness

• Loss of interest or pleasure in activities

• Low energy or fatigue

• Changes in appetite or weight

• Trouble sleeping or sleeping too much

• Feeling hopeless, guilty, or worthless

• Difficulty concentrating or making decisions

• Thoughts of self-harm or suicide (in severe cases)

💡 What Is Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)?

Major Depressive Disorder is a more intense and long-lasting form of depression. It's not something you can "shake off." It often requires clinical support and treatment.

To be diagnosed with MDD, symptoms typically:

• Last two weeks or more

• Interfere with daily functioning (work, school, relationships, etc.)

• Are not caused by a physical illness or substance use

🚨 When to Seek Help

If you're experiencing:

• Sadness or hopelessness that lasts more than 2 weeks

• Changes in appetite, sleep, or energy

• Difficulty functioning in daily life

• Isolation or withdrawal from loved ones

• Suicidal thoughts or self-harm urges

➡️ It’s time to talk to a professional. Depression is treatable. And you don’t have to wait until it gets worse.
