In the video, psychiatrist Prof. Dr. Wagner Gattaz explains how to recognize the signs of depression – a real illness that affects the functioning of the brain and goes far beyond temporary sadness. It highlights symptoms such as loss of energy, insomnia, irritability, difficulty concentrating and the inability to feel pleasure, even for no apparent reason. Unlike sadness, depression doesn’t get better over time if it’s not treated. Watch and know when to seek professional help.
