Prompt
Depression and Silent Suffering Depression is more than sadness. It is a serious mental health condition that can affect how a person thinks, feels, and functions daily. A depressed person may lose interest in activities, withdraw from family and friends, struggle with sleep, lose appetite, or feel hopeless. Unfortunately, many people in African communities hide these feelings because they fear being judged. Some are told: “Pray harder.” “Be strong.” “Stop overthinking.” “People have bigger problems than you.” While faith, encouragement, and community support are important, mental health conditions sometimes require professional care just like physical illnesses do.
