Depression is a common mental health problem that affects millions of people worldwide. When you're depressed you feel sad on most days and you may find it difficult to keep up with life's demands.

In Tanzania, there are 1 free hotlines that support people experiencing the symptoms of depression. If you notice these signs of depression, consider reaching out:

• You became irritable for no reason
• You don’t care for your hobbies or work

• You feel discouraged and pessimistic
• You cannot concentrate and have difficulties memorizing things
• Your weight has changed alongside your emotions

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.
