Depression Symptoms

People often throw around the word “depression” as a way to describe deep sadness or ennui. However, clinical depression is a medical condition that hugely impacts the way a person thinks and functions.

It usually must last for a minimum of two weeks to be diagnosed with depression depending on its type.

Symptoms vary, but they can include:

• Feeling extremely sad
• Not enjoying stuff that one normally enjoys
• Difficulty concentrating
• Loss of appetite
• Feeling of isolation or being alone
• Change in eating habits (eating too much or too little)
• Change in sleeping pattern (sleeping too long or too short)
• Unwilling to socialize
• Irritableness
• Insomnia
• Fatigue
• Suicidal thoughts

 

All these can affect the person’s well-being and harm their physical, mental, and emotional health in the process.
