A mood disorder that makes an individual feel sad, lost, and angry is called depression. Depression can be caused by medical conditions causing chronic pain and suffering, early childhood trauma, family history, and alcohol or drug abuse. Irritability, mood swings, sleep deprivation, loss of interest, tiredness, suicidal thoughts, and difficulty concentrating are a few symptoms of depression. People who have low self-esteem, some mental illness, and stress are more susceptible to become depressed. If left untreated, it can cause weight gain, drug addictions, panic attacks, social isolation, and self-mutilation. Psychotherapy, light therapy, acupuncture, and herbal supplements can be used in the treatment.
