Everyone has good days and bad days. However, there’s a distinct difference between experiencing sadness or grief and experiencing depression. According to the Anxiety & Depression Association of America, depression is one of the most prevalent mental health conditions in the U.S. and it is the leading cause of disability across the world. Depression can also impact nearly every aspect of our lives, from our relationships and careers to our mental and physical wellbeing. The underlying cause of depression can vary widely, from underlying medical concerns to experiencing traumatic events.
