In this episode of the "What the Friday" podcast, Warren and Danny from Invictus Wellbeing discuss depression, differentiating it from general sadness, and its impact on daily life.

Danny explains that clinical depression is a diagnosable mental health condition affecting cognition, behaviour, and emotions, and can manifest in various forms, including major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, and seasonal affective disorder.

He emphasises the importance of recognising signs of depression, such as prolonged sadness, loss of interest, changes in eating and sleeping habits, and the need for professional help. Danny also highlights the role of lifestyle changes, therapy, and medication in treatment, and encourages reaching out for support to overcome depression.
