Depression: It is a mood condition defined by a continuous feeling of unhappiness, dissatisfaction, hopelessness, anger or loss that interferes with a person's daily activities. Depression can also have an impact on some chronic health issues and relationships. Neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, and noradrenaline levels drop in this illness, resulting in depressive symptoms. The specific aetiology of depression is unknown; however, it may be linked to mental health issues, family history, drug use, trauma, and physiological diseases. Depression can be treated with medications and psychotherapy.

Anxiety: Anxiety is a state of uneasiness that can range from mild to severe. Anxiety is a normal emotion. However, some people struggle to keep their fears in control. Their worry is more persistent and frequently interferes with their daily life. Anxiety is the primary symptom of several disorders, including panic disorder, phobias (such as agoraphobia or claustrophobia), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and social anxiety disorder (social phobia).

Asthenia: It is a condition characterised by a lack of energy, strength, and physical or mental weakness which can affect certain body parts or the entire body.
