Depression is a common mental health condition that affects millions of people worldwide. Unfortunately, due to the stigma surrounding mental illness, many people still misunderstand the true nature of depression and its impact on individuals. One of the most common misconceptions is that depression is simply a form of laziness. This is a harmful and inaccurate assumption that can lead to individuals with depression feeling misunderstood, isolated, and unsupported.

If you are struggling with depression, know that you are not alone, and help is available.
