If you are depressed it might mean that you could need some help and support to get better though, for example going to your GP and asking what your options are. Depression is counted as a mental health problem and more people experience depression than you might think. These days people use the word depression very lightly, as if it just another word for sad, but really being depressed is a bit more serious than that. If these feelings continue for a long time or are maybe getting worse, it could be that you are depressed.

Feeling low or sad is a completely normal part of life – everyone goes through things that make it difficult to stay positive or happy.
