Depression
Everyone feels sad sometimes, but if you feel very sad for a long time it can be a problem.
Depression is when you feel sad and down for many weeks.
Depression makes it hard to do things like have fun, work, sleep and eat well.
Sometimes depression can make you feel like you don’t want to live.
If you feel depressed, talk to someone you trust or ask your doctor for help.
If you feel like you don’t want to live, go to the hospital.
