What is Depression? (Depression Part 1)
Depression is one of the leading causes of disability worldwide, suicide is one of the leading causes of death amongst young people, and it’s estimated that around 20% of the population meet criteria for Major Depressive Disorder at any given time. But many of us don’t understand what depression is, how it works, and what it feels like to be clinically depressed. It’s so much more than ‘just feeling sad’, and the lack of understanding about this condition has created a lot of stigma and insensitivity.
Tune in to the podcast to learn more about depression so that you can better support anyone going through it.

Today's episode (depression part 1) is all about explaining what depression is, what it looks and feels like, and the science behind how it's caused and maintained.
