Symptoms - Recognizing the Indicators
Depression, commonly known as major depressive disorder, is more than just occasional sadness. It’s not a passing phase or a display of weakness; instead, it’s a condition that needs care, treatment, and understanding.
Here are the symptoms of the depression;
Persistent feelings of sadness, anxiety, or emptiness.
Thoughts of hopelessness or a generally pessimistic outlook.
Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, or helplessness.
Irritability, frustration, or
restlessness.
Reduced energy, constant fatigue, or a feeling of being slowed down.
Difficulty concentrating, remembering, or making decisions.
Changes in appetite lead to unplanned weight changes.
Loss of interest or joy in once-enjoyable activities.
Thoughts of death or suicide, or actual suicide attempts.
Sleep difficulties include trouble sleeping, early waking, or oversleeping.
Physical symptoms like aches, pains, headaches, cramps, or digestive issues without a clear physical cause.
