Depression is more than just feeling down, it’s a pervasive low mood that seeps into every part of life. People with depression often experience persistent sadness or emptiness, loss of interest in activities they once enjoyed (anhedonia), and cognitive distortions like excessive guilt or hopelessness. Physically, it can disrupt sleep and appetite, sap energy, and make even simple tasks feel overwhelming. Over time, these symptoms can impair concentration, decision‑making, and motivation, creating a feedback loop that deepens withdrawal and distress.
“in the U.S. about 8 % experience a major depressive episode each year.”
Globally, roughly 5 % of adults live with depression at any given time, and in the U.S. about 8 % experience a major depressive episode each year.

DID YOU KNOW?
Adults typically present with persistent sadness or anhedonia, sleep disturbances (insomnia or hypersomnia), appetite or weight changes, and fatigue. Also psychomotor agitation or retardation, diminished concentration, feelings of worthlessness or excessive guilt, and recurrent thoughts of death or suicide. Somatic complaints (e.g., headaches, back pain) are also common and may prompt medical evaluation Mayo ClinicSELF.
Children and adolescents, however, often exhibit irritability rather than overt sadness. Along with clinginess, excessive worry, unexplained aches and pains, refusal to attend school, social withdrawal, academic decline, tantrums, and somatic complaints like stomach aches or headaches. Adolescents may also engage in substance use, self-harm, or display marked sensitivity and feelings of worthlessness
Risk factors for depression span biological, psychological, and social domains across all ages. Genetic predisposition and family history of mood disorders increase vulnerability, as do neurochemical imbalances (e.g., serotonin dysregulation) and early life stress (e.g., maltreatment, parental psychopathology).
Childhood adversity and comorbid psychiatric disorders (anxiety, ADHD) amplify risk and often co-occur; nearly all children with depression have at least one other childhood psychiatric disorder or adversity PMCMayo Clinic. Hormonal changes, identity formation, peer relationships, academic pressures, and social media also uniquely impact adolescents, whereas adult‐specific stressors include financial hardship, caregiving responsibilities, and chronic medical illness.
