Depression is more than just feeling sad. It is a medical condition that affects mood, energy, sleep, appetite, concentration, and even physical health. Left untreated, it can worsen over time and interfere with relationships, work, and overall quality of life.

In mental health, time matters.
Early treatment → Early improvement → Faster and complete recovery

Delayed treatment → More medicines, longer treatment, slower recover, risk of chronic illness

Just like physical illnesses, psychiatric conditions respond best when treated early. Recognizing symptoms and seeking timely help can save months—or even years—of suffering.

Early help is the best help.
