Depression
Understanding Depression
Depression is more than feeling sad or low for a few days — it’s a serious mental health condition that can affect how you think, feel, and function day to day.
It can make even simple tasks feel overwhelming, and for many, it develops gradually over time.
The good news is that depression is treatable, and with the right professional help, most people recover fully.
At MyCare247, we provide structured assessments and evidence-based treatments to help patients regain balance, stability, and hope.
Common Symptoms
Everyone experiences depression differently, but common symptoms include:
Persistent sadness or emptiness
Loss of interest or pleasure in activities once enjoyed
Fatigue or low energy
Poor concentration or memory
Changes in appetite or sleep
Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, or hopelessness
Thoughts of self-harm or suicide
If you are having thoughts of self-harm or suicide, please seek help immediately by contacting your GP, calling 111, or reaching out to Samaritans (116 123) — help is always available.
Types of Depression
Mild to Moderate Depression: Persistent sadness, but able to function day-to-day.
Severe Depression: Major disruption to daily life, often requiring more intensive intervention.
