After the pandemic, the World Health Organization (WHO) revealed that depression had increased by 25%, meaning a total of 250 million people are living with the condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to experts, depression does not happen overnight but develops over years. You can tell when sadness isn\u2019t fleeting but lingers, when the things you used to enjoy no longer interest you, or when you behave differently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
David Trejo Moreno<\/strong>, Director of the Mexican Foundation to Combat Depression<\/a>, explains that the ancient Greeks called it \u201cmelancholia.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIf you look at the deadly sins, at the description of sloth, well, it isn\u2019t laziness but depression. The part about doing nothing, not wanting to get up, that\u2019s not laziness. If you look at the symptoms, it\u2019s depression,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
