I've been feeling very down these days, crying for no apparent reason, and nothing seems to make me feel better.
Disease description:
In the past few days, I have noticed that my mood has become unusually low. I often cry without apparent reason, feel disinterested in things around me, and sense that life has lost its color and joy. This condition has persisted for nearly a week and has significantly affected my daily life and work. I am worried that I might be suffering from depression.

Depressive mood is a common psychological phenomenon, usually caused by stress, life events, biochemical factors, etc. Short-term depressive moods can be relieved through self-regulation and adequate rest. However, if the depressive mood lasts for a prolonged period and is accompanied by severe symptoms such as persistent sadness, anxiety, insomnia, changes in appetite, fatigue, low self-esteem, and difficulty concentrating, it may indicate depression. Depression is a serious mental health issue that requires professional medical intervention.
Try to identify the specific causes triggering these emotions—whether they stem from work pressure, interpersonal relationships, or other concerns. If the low mood persists and affects daily life and work, it is advisable to seek professional psychological counseling. Qualified mental health professionals can provide scientific guidance and treatment recommendations.
