How does depression affect people?
Depression affects your physical well-being, possibly resulting in chronic fatigue, sleep problems, and changes in weight or appetite. It can affect your mood, with feelings of sadness, emptiness, hopelessness and despair. It can affect the way you think, and interfere with concentration and decision-making. And, it can affect your behavior, with increased irritability, and a reduction in your desire to engage in pleasurable activities.
