Negative emotions, such as sadness, disappointment and despair, are not unfamiliar feelings to most people. These feelings are unpleasant when we are experiencing them, but usually do not last long. When people face painful, but common life events such as grief and loss, it is normal and even natural for one to feel sad.<\/p>\n

However, depression is more than just feeling sad. It is characterised by a pervasive low mood that lasts for a long time, which is not influenced by external events. Some people describe depression as a suffocating grey cloud that follows wherever one goes.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Depression can have a debilitating effect on those who experience it. Individuals lose interest in their lives and find it hard to engage in activities that they previously enjoyed. This has negative consequences on work or school, marriage<\/a> and family<\/a>, and also social relationships. In severe cases, individuals may also harbor suicidal thoughts, and may sometimes act on it.<\/p>\n

According to the World Health Organisation, 350 million people worldwide suffer from depression. In Singapore, depression is the most commonly diagnosed mental disorder, and affects 6.9% of the adult population in their lifetime.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
