Welcome to the "Depression Awareness" course. This is a full trip that aims to make people more aware of sadness and help them better understand this common mental illness. Depression is a difficult and complicated condition that affects millions of people around the world, regardless of their age, gender, or culture. The goal of this course is to give you useful information, bust some myths, and give you the skills you need to spot and help people who are depressed.

 Depression:

We will talk about what sadness is and all of its different kinds and symptoms. From major depressive disorder to chronic depressive disorder, it's important to know the range of depressive disorders so that they can be correctly identified and treated. People who take part will learn more about the biological, psychological, and social factors that lead to sadness.

Recognizing Signs and Symptoms:

People who are depressed often show a lot of different symptoms that aren't always easy to spot. This lesson is all about teaching people how to spot the minor signs and changes in behavior that can mean someone is depressed. By helping people learn more about these signs, we can work toward getting help and assistance early on.

Impact on Daily Life:

Depression has a big effect on many parts of a person's life, like their relationships, work, and health in general. Module 3 looks at how depression affects daily life and stresses how important it is to show understanding and kindness to make the world a better place for people who are depressed.

Overcoming Stigma:

People who are depressed still have a hard time getting help because of the shame that comes with it. This lesson clears up some common misunderstandings about sadness and encourages a conversation without shame. We want to make society more open and accepting by fighting assumptions and encouraging honest talks.
