Depression is one of the most common mental health issues that children, teens and adults face each day. Depression can vary in intensity, showing symptoms such as sadness, fatigue, reduced interest in activities, loss of pleasure, irritability (particularly in children and teens), sleep problems, appetite changes, and even thoughts of suicide. It's a common condition, impacting nearly 1 in 10 American adults, and presents in different forms, reflecting the diverse nature of depressive diagnoses. Depression affects people of all ages, races, genders, and ethnicities without discrimination. Studies reveal a higher prevalence of depression diagnoses among women, and an increased risk within the LGBTQIA+ community.
