Signs of depression
Depression affects millions of people around the world, so it is not surprising that the symptoms can vary greatly between individuals. Some of the most common signs of depression are:
- Feeling sad or angry. People living with depression may feel sad or down for extended periods of time. Others describe the feeling as "low", "melancholy", or "desperate." They may be angry with others for no apparent reason.
- Feeling hopeless, helpless, or worthless. A person living with depression may feel like there is no end to what they are feeling and that they are worthless to society. They may feel that they are helpless to make the changes needed to stop these feelings.
- Loss of interest. A person living with depression may no longer have an interest in activities that they used to love. This could be hobbies, socializing, or enjoying intimate relationships.
- Feeling tired all the time. Fatigue and without energy is common to many people living with depression. This leads to irritability, poor work performance, and missing out on many of the things they used to enjoy.
- Insomnia. Having trouble sleeping is not unusual with depression. Lack of sleep can manifest into other signs such as trouble making decisions, feeling tired, or being irritable.
- Lack of appetite or overeating. Some individuals may lose interest in eating since they get no enjoyment from food, while others use food for comfort and eat more than they should, resulting in weight gain.
- Physical aches and pains. The human body responds to depression in many ways. Some people have gastrointestinal issues, joint pain, headaches, or other maladies that are brought on by depression.
- Thoughts of death or suicide. Depression can be a serious medical condition that requires immediate attention, particularly if a person is considering self-harm. It is crucial to seek help if a person thinks or speaks of suicide.
