what r signs of depression?

Answer 1

There are heaps. Some are: inability to enjoy things, fatigue, mood swings, crying for no reason, feelings of apathy, worthlessness, helplessness, hopelessness, irritability, guilt, sleep problems (either insomnia or sleeping too much), appetite disturbances (eating too little or too much), headaches, backaches, digestive problems, difficulty concentrating or making decisions, poor memory, increased anxiety, decreased sex drive, avoiding social situations, recurrent thoughts of death or suicide, racing thoughts in general. The list goes on.

Long story short, get help before you end up like me. I've been suffering with severe post-natal depression, bordering on psychosis, for more than four years. It ain't fun.

Answer 2

Normal signs are sleeping more or less than normal, feeling sad and hopeless, not wanting to do the things you once enjoyed, eating more or less than normal and in extreem cases having thoughts of sucide. However, depression can cause many different symptoms in each person, but these are just a few of the most common. Good luck with your question.

The symptoms of Depressive Illness are highly recognizable, both to those affected and to those closest to them, once they are told what to look for.

Here is a checklist of symptoms of Depressive illness:

* Loss of energy and interest.
* Diminished ability to enjoy oneself.
* Decreased -- or increased -- sleeping or appetite.
* Difficulty in concentrating; indecisiveness; slowed or fuzzy thinking.
* Exaggerated feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or anxiety.

If most of these symptoms last for two weeks or more, you probably have Depressive Illness.
