00:00After loss, sadness is natural. But how do we know when grief crosses into depression, the kind that needs extra help?
00:08Normal grief is like waves. It comes and goes. Even through tears, there are still moments of laughter, small joys, and connection.
00:16Depression feels heavier. It lingers. Sleep is disrupted, appetite fades, and even small daily tasks feel impossible.
00:25Unlike grief, depression makes hope hard to find. Depression doesn't just hurt the mind. It strains the body, too.
00:33Stress hormones rise, blood pressure increases, and the heart carries more weight.
00:39If these signs last for weeks, it may be depression, not just grief. That's the time to gently reach out for help.
00:46Talking with a doctor, joining a support group, or even a daily walk with a neighbor can lighten the load.
00:52Healing begins with one step.
00:55Sadness is part of love, but depression deserves attention.
00:59Take care of your heart, your health, and let others walk this journey with you.
