People who may be suffering from depression or manic disorders actually exhibit or show each and every kind of symptom of depression that doctors will tell you that depressed people have. Sometimes it is actually quite easy to overlook such symptoms and not be able to help one person or others who are suffering from depression for that matter.
Here are some common examples of symptoms of depression:
1. Prolonged period of sadness or not feeling “up to it”.
2. Feels hopeless, perennial pessimist.
3. Guilt-driven, loss of self-worth and helplessness.
4. Isn't interested in finding or taking pleasure.
5. Fatigue, always tired.
6. Having trouble concentrating, having bad memory and is indecisive.
There are actually more symptoms of depression that can actually help you see if a person (or you) needs to be brought to the doctor to get some help when it comes to depression: lacking sleep, sleeping too much or waking up at wee hours of the morning are all symptoms of depression (if it happens on a daily basis), appetite loss as well as eating too much may show one person lack of enthusiasm for life. Be weary of sudden weight loss or weight gain in those around you. Being suicidal, talking about death, about wanting to die is another clear indication that that person is depressed. Being restless and irritable are physical symptoms that are usually brought about by poor mental health such as headaches, digestive disorders and various body pains.
