Melancholia

Melancholia is when someone feels very sad and unhappy for a long time, like feeling down in the dumps all of the time. It can also cause physical symptoms like tiredness, loss of appetite and not feeling like doing normal activities. It can last for weeks and months, and can make it hard to take part in things that usually make you feel happy. If you think you might be feeling this way, it's important to talk to someone you trust who can help you.
