What is Depression?
Depression is not laziness or weakness. It can affect mood, thoughts, sleep, digestion, appetite, energy, confidence and physical strength.
Some patients feel sadness and crying; others feel numb, withdrawn, irritable or exhausted. Depression may follow grief, chronic stress, illness, hormonal changes or appear without an obvious reason.
The Depression consultation records the diagnosis, reports, current medicines, symptom timeline, daily-life impact and goals for follow-up.
