DEPRESSION: WHAT OUR COMMUNITY SHOULD KNOW

Depression is a medical illness that affects the mind and body. It is more than feeling sad for a few days. A person with depression may experience persistent sadness, loss of interest in daily activities, tiredness, poor concentration, sleep problems, changes in appetite, and feelings of hopelessness.

Depression can be caused by stress, loss of a loved one, chronic illness, substance abuse, trauma, or chemical changes in the brain. Anyone can be affected, regardless of age, gender, or social status.

Depression is treatable. Early help through counseling, medical treatment, family support, and lifestyle changes can lead to recovery. Ignoring symptoms can worsen the condition.

Let us stop stigma and encourage those affected to seek medical care.
Depression is not weakness — it is an illness, and help is available.

🩺 MARCUS HEALTH TIP OF THE DAY: Drink More Water 💧

Most people feel tired, get headaches, or feel dizzy — not because they are sick, but because they are dehydrated.

Water helps to:
✔ Flush out toxins
✔ Improve digestion
✔ Keep your skin healthy
✔ Prevent headaches
✔ Improve energy levels

Tip:
Try to drink at least 6–8 glasses of water daily.
If your urine is dark yellow, your body needs more water.

Your health is your wealth — take care of it today 💙
