Low-mood & Depression

What is the difference between Low-mood and Depression?

Low mood refers to a temporary state of feeling down or emotionally subdued, often in response to specific circumstances. Depression, on the other hand, is a more pervasive and persistent mental health condition characterised by a prolonged and intense sense of sadness, hopelessness, and a lack of interest or pleasure in activities.

What are the symptoms?

Low mood and depression can share some symptoms, but depression is generally more severe and persistent. Symptoms of low mood may include feelings of sadness, irritability, fatigue, and a temporary decrease in interest or pleasure in activities. On the other hand, depression may involve more intense and enduring symptoms, such as persistent sadness or emptiness, changes in sleep and appetite, feelings of worthlessness or guilt, difficulty concentrating, and thoughts of death or suicide. It's important to note that only a qualified healthcare professional can diagnose these conditions, and if your are experiencing symptoms, it's crucial to seek professional help for an accurate assessment and appropriate support.
