Depression is the most common mental illness in Singapore. One in 16 people in Singapore have suffered from Depression at some point in their lifetime. Depression is characterised by a depressed mood, a profound feeling of sadness, emptiness, worthlessness and hopelessness. Other symptoms include loss of interest in activities and loss of pleasure in almost all activities, sleep disturbances (either not being able to sleep well or sleeping too much), loss of appetite with consequent loss of weight (although in atypical cases, there might be overeating). Significant impairment in functioning is brought on by difficulty concentrating, loss of energy, tiredness and listlessness. The depressed person may have suicidal thoughts or intentions which might lead to suicidal attempts or even actual suicide. Learn more about Depression through this video.
