No one has to be ashamed of a mental illness. We explain where you can turn for help. Sad, listless and tired - everyone knows these phases. But if the low mood lasts for a longer period of time, depression may be behind it.
Depression is one of the most common mental illnesses in Germany, affecting almost one in five people at some point in their lives. Depression is a serious illness and should therefore be treated as quickly as possible.
Typical symptoms of depression include listlessness, fatigue, listlessness and loss of zest for life and interests. Sleep disturbances, loss of appetite, concentration problems, feelings of guilt, reduced self-esteem and suicidal thoughts can also occur.
The triggers of depression can be varied and often cannot be clearly determined. The disorder manifests itself differently in each person and can vary in severity. In case of doubt, you should always consult a doctor or psychotherapist.
