Struggling with depression? Contact a hotline in Estonia for free, confidential help

Depression is one of the most common mental health problems, affecting about 13% of people worldwide. Depression can affect people differently, but common feelings associated with depression include sadness, hopelessness, worthlessness, and guilt.

In Estonia, there are 4 free hotlines that support people experiencing the symptoms of depression. If you notice these signs of depression, consider reaching out:

• You cannot concentrate and have difficulties memorizing things
• Things that used to bring you joy mean nothing to you now
• You wake up during the night or at dawn and cannot fall asleep again
• You ruminate over all your past mistakes
• Your appetite and eating habits have changed
• You have lost energy and feel tired all the time
• You find it difficult to socialize
• You feel discouraged and pessimistic

Depression can be a response to a loss or great stress in your life. However, it can also happen for no obvious reason. Both experiences are fairly common but depression can make it feel like nobody will relate to what you're going through.

Depression can make you feel like a burden to others so you may be hesitant to ask for help. However, there are helpline volunteers and counselors in Estonia who care about your situation and want to help. Sharing your feelings with a compassionate listener can help you feel supported and less alone.

If you feel like you might need support with feelings of sadness, depression or hopelessness, try reaching out to a hotline in Estonia. It's free and confidential.
