Some symtoms can be a sudden loss of interest in activities/hobbies you enjoy. Feelings of hopelessness. Lack of concentration, and a lack of energy and motivation.

These are just some.

Answer 5

There are many. Feeling sad or irritable most of the time most days, loss of appetite (or bingeing even though you are not hungry), waking up very early in the morning, no sex drive, getting tearful, feeling guilty, hopeless or helpless.

I recommend you go and visit http://bluepages.anu.edu.au and http://moodgym.anu.edu.au. The first one has a lot of information about depression. The second is an online Cognitive Behaviour Therapy website which can help you to conquer depression.

If you are concerned that you may have depression, please go and see your GP. If you are worried about someone else, please tell them they should go and see their GP.

Best of luck

Your doctor, counselor or psychologist will evaluate your family history, current stressors and overall physical and mental condition. If you're experiencing any of the following symptoms, seek medical advice right away.

hopelessness
increased irritability, anger, or hostility
persistent boredom or fatigue
low self esteem
feelings of guilt
inability to concentrate
acute sensitivity to rejection or failure
loss of interest or pleasure in previously enjoyed activities
social isolation, withdrawal
difficulty with relationships
physical illnesses associated with stress (headache, stomachache)
ditching classes often, even when your friends aren't
school grades tanking
loss of appetite or constant hunger
too little or too much sleep, increasing fatigue
alcohol or drug abuse including marijuana
self-injury or mutilation (cutting, burning, biting)
discussion or thoughts of suicide.

What Are the Causes of Teen Depression?

Low self esteem is one of the common causes of teen depression, but it isn't necessarily the trigger for the disorder. If you have trouble in school (problems with reading, learning, concentrating, or paying attention), you're at a higher risk for teenage depression than kids who do well in school. If you have problems at home with parents or a stepparent, or if you live in a home with lots of fighting and conflicts, you're also in a higher risk group.

Some experts believe that teenage girls are at an especially high risk. Others feel that boys suffer just as often but are less likely to speak up about their feelings, and so are less likely to receive a medical diagnosis of depression.

Remember this: You are not to blame! Do not blame yourself for bad things that have happened. Punishing yourself with negative thoughts can make you feel worse and create low self esteem. Give yourself a break and realize that all of us are human and we all make mistakes. All of the time.

Answer 7

You are bored, you can't get interested in anything, you just don't care, you say "what's the point," you sleep a lot and sit around and feel all defeated. You may eat more or less than is good for you, depending on your habits.

Have a capsule of St. John's Wort and stop feeling sorry for yourself.
