Understanding Depression: Common Signs and Symptoms

Depression manifests differently in each person, but recognizing the symptoms is the first step towards seeking help.

  • Persistent sadness or hopelessness: Feeling empty, numb, or overwhelmed with sadness most of the time.

  • Loss of interest or pleasure: Disinterest in activities once enjoyed, including hobbies, social events, or even daily routines.

  • Fatigue and lack of energy: Constant tiredness, even after a full night’s sleep, making everyday tasks feel exhausting.

  • Changes in sleep patterns: Insomnia, waking up too early, or excessive sleeping.

  • Appetite or weight changes: Significant weight loss or gain due to changes in eating patterns.

  • Difficulty concentrating: Trouble focusing, making decisions, or remembering things.

  • Feelings of worthlessness or guilt: Persistent negative thoughts, self-blame, or feeling like a burden to others.

  • Physical symptoms: Headaches, body aches, or digestive issues without a clear physical cause.
