What is Depression?
Depression is a common and serious mental health condition that affects how you feel, think, and act. It can cause feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and loss of interest in activities you used to enjoy. It can also affect your physical health, such as changes in your eating, sleeping, and energy levels.
How does Covid-19 affect your depression?
The pandemic was a tough time for many, especially youths. Here's why it was so hard:
Schools CLOSED and Online learning: This messed up daily routines and made learning harder.
Social Distancing: Staying away from friends and family, felt really lonely.
Scary News: The news caused fear and worry about the future.
Death of Love Ones: Losing friends and family members is sad and really tough. 😔
Parents Not Working: REALLY scary when parents say they can’t pay bills😰
