What is "melancholia"?

Melancholia is a mental health condition characterized by constant feelings of sadness, emptiness, and hopelessness. People with melancholia may experience a lack of interest or pleasure in activities they once enjoyed, changes in appetite or weight, problems with sleep patterns, and low energy levels. These symptoms can significantly harm daily functioning and may be accompanied by physical problems such as headaches or digestive issues. Melancholia can be a symptom of major depressive disorder or occur on its own as a separate condition. Treatment typically involves therapy, medication, and lifestyle changes to help manage symptoms and improve overall well-being.
