When grappling with depression, people often wonder whether depression will go away on its own, or if they need to seek out help

You might notice that a loved one is feeling down before they even realise it themselves. If you show you care and encourage them to get help, it can make a big difference.

Depression can have many causes, and it's not always easy to understand why it happens. Sometimes, it's clear what's making someone feel depressed, such as trauma or illness. For others depression might run in the family, so they're not surprised if they get diagnosed with it.

Depression is often portrayed as a condition that primarily affects women, but the reality is it can impact anyone regardless of gender. However, men are less likely to seek help for their mental health.

Perhaps you're finding it hard to concentrate, lacking motivation, or always tired. Dealing with depression in the workplace can often be a daunting experience.
