Signs of Depression

RECOGNIZING THE SIGNS OF DEPRESSION

Could you recognize your own signs of depression?

Yes, in addition to changes in sleeping, appetite, eating, concentration etc. that last on and on, you can recognize depression by clues like:

  • no self esteem, feeling worthless

  • apathy, retreating from life
  • you can’t control your negative thoughts
  • you don't feel happy no matter how much you try
  • you are constantly irritated with people or become enraged even at small things – and this is new for you
  • you have thoughts that life is not worth living
  • or you have a plan for how you would end your life (Seek help immediately if this is the case)

    Mayo Clinic gives us this list of signs of depression.

    SYMPTOMS OF DEPRESSION INCLUDE:

  • Low or zero self esteem

  • Loss of interest in normal daily activities
  • Feeling sad or down
  • Feeling hopeless
  • Crying spells for no apparent reason
  • Problems sleeping
  • Trouble focusing or concentrating
  • Difficulty making decisions
  • Unintentional weight gain or loss
  • Irritability
  • Restlessness
  • Being easily annoyed
  • Feeling fatigued or weak
  • Feeling worthless
  • Loss of interest in sex
  • Thoughts of suicide or suicidal behavior
  • Unexplained physical problems, such as back pain or headaches

    Symptoms of depression symptoms can vary greatly because different people experience depression differently. A 25-year-old depressed woman may not have the same symptoms as a 70-year-old one, for instance.

    For some people, depression symptoms are so severe that it's obvious something isn't right. Others may feel generally miserable or unhappy without really knowing why.

    Feeling down from time to time is a normal part of life. But when sadness takes hold and won't go away, it's time to look at depression. More than just the temporary "blues," the lows of depression make it difficult, if not impossible, to function.

    Before going the prescription depression medications route, try these natural antidepressants for signs of depression.
