Though there is still some stigma surrounding it, depression is a pretty common mood disorder that is experienced by people all around the world. Around one in 15 (or 6.7%) adults are diagnosed with it each year, while around one in six (or 16.6%) people will get it at some time in their life. It is characterized by a lingering feeling of sadness, and a loss of interest in things that a person normally enjoys (also called anhedonia). Depression may be a long-term illness, or short-term. It can also be treated through medication or therapy.
However, for mild instances, or to supplement other treatments, there are things you could do to manage your symptoms. Here are some alternative home remedies you could try if you are suffering from depression.
