Symptoms of Depression

Depressive illnesses can make routine tasks unbearably difficult. Pleasures that make life worth living can be drained of joy. Depression brings pain and disruption not only to the person who has it but also to their family and others who care about them.

Ask yourself, are you feeling:

  • Sad or ‘empty’
  • Irritable or angry
  • Guilty or worthless
  • Pessimistic or hopeless
  • Tired or ‘slowed down’
  • Restless or agitated
  • Like no one cares about you or life is not worth living

Other signs may be sleeping and/or eating more or less than usual, having persistent headaches, stomach aches or chronic pain, trouble concentrating, remembering or making decisions and losing interest in work, hobbies, sex.

If these signs are familiar, it’s time to talk with your doctor. Depression is a real, medical illness that can be successfully treated and fortunately there are many effective options.
