Having An Underlying Feeling of Unhappiness That Just Lingers?
Signs of depression can vary from person to person, but there are several common symptoms that individuals may experience. These include persistent feelings of sadness or emptiness, a loss of interest or pleasure in activities that were once enjoyable, and changes in appetite or weight, either increasing or decreasing. Sleep disturbances, such as insomnia or oversleeping, are also prevalent.
Additionally, individuals may experience fatigue, difficulty concentrating, feelings of worthlessness or excessive guilt, and recurrent thoughts of death or suicide. It's important to note that these symptoms can interfere with daily functioning and may require professional intervention for effective management.
If someone is experiencing these signs, seeking help from a mental health professional is crucial. If you or someone you know are currently experiencing thoughts of suicide please call the free and confidential National Suicide Prevention Hotline at 988 or go to the nearest emergency room.
