self mutilation is a sign of psychosis, not depression. Changes in appetite can certainly be one of the signs of depression, as well as a loss of interest in what you normally find interesting, sleeping alot, or sleeping alot less, sad and apathetic more that normal for you. If you think you are depressed, it's important to see a psychiatrist for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

hi ,
these are some symptoms that people have when they're depressed:
* depressed mood or sadness most of the time (for what may seem like no reason)
* lack of energy and feeling tired all the time
* inability to enjoy things that used to bring pleasure
* withdrawal from friends and family
* irritability, anger, or anxiety
* inability to concentrate
* significant weight loss or gain
* significant change in sleep patterns (inability to fall asleep, stay asleep, or get up in the morning)
* feelings of guilt or worthlessness
* aches and pains (even though nothing is physically wrong)
* pessimism and indifference (not caring about anything in the present or future)
* thoughts of death or suicide

When I get depressed, I don't eat and I don't sleep. The last time I was depressed I lived for three days or more on Budweiser and Mountain Dew, and 2 hours of sleep if I was lucky. Some people do nothing but eat and sleep, though.

For me when I get depressed I hardly eat at all and I sleep 12-20 hours in a day, I become very anti-social also.
