Depression and mood disorders can impact how a person thinks, feels, functions, and experiences the world around them. Depression may involve persistent sadness, hopelessness, low motivation, emotional numbness, fatigue, irritability, isolation, changes in sleep or appetite, and difficulty enjoying activities that once felt meaningful. Mood-related struggles can also include periods of emotional highs and lows, difficulty regulating emotions, or feeling overwhelmed by daily responsibilities. These experiences often affect relationships, work or school functioning, self-esteem, and physical health.
