Depression causes feelings of sadness and/or loss of interest in activities that you previously enjoyedThe Egyptian Psychiatric Association has said that women are more likely to be affected by depression than men. The Association reached this result through its continued “Break the Depression” awareness campaign, which was launched at the end of 2020. The campaign addresses depression as a mental illness, to characterise it and its symptoms, and to provide more information on how to deal with and overcome the disease. Depression causes feelings of sadness and/or loss of interest in activities that you previously enjoyed, Youssef said, adding that it can also lead to a variety of emotional and physical problems. As a result, depression is also capable of reducing the individual’s ability to function both at work and at home.
