Depression is a mental disorder characterized by prolonged feelings of sadness and worthlessness, difficulty concentrating, and a lack of interest in activities. It can be caused by various factors, such as genetic predisposition, environmental stressors, or medical conditions. Symptoms of depression can vary from person to person, but they typically include feelings of hopelessness and helplessness, sleeping and eating disturbances, irritability, and lack of energy. Treatment for depression can include psychotherapy, medication, or a combination of both.

Anxiety is a mental disorder characterized by intense fear and worry, often in response to perceived or actual threats. Symptoms of anxiety can range from restlessness and difficulty concentrating to physical symptoms such as sweating and a racing heart.

Substance use disorders involve the recurrent and compulsive use of drugs or alcohol despite negative consequences.
