9 Hallmark Symptoms of Depression
If you exhibit 5 or more 5 symptoms then you are likely to have depression. And we highly urge you to reach out to the Mental Health Professionals.
1) Prolonged Sadness or Low Mood.
If you are sad or feeling low continually for more than 6 months.
(Bonus tip - For men, it may express an irritable mood.)
2) Anhedonia.
This is a condition where he/she unable to enjoy things that they normally do. Complete lack of interest in almost everything that they used to enjoy.
For example, they don't wanna watch movies or to go out anywhere or even don't wanna eat ice cream.
3) Changes in Appetite or Weight.
They either eat lots to compensate for their depression which results in a drastic increase in weight (fat) gain or the opposite will likely to happen.
They don't wanna eat anything at all. They don't even feel hungry. And that results in drastic decrease in body weight.
4) Changes in Sleep.
Either they have Hypersomnia or Insomnia which is they either sleep a lot like literally a lot (15 to 20 Hours a Day) or they either sleepless like real less. Example, One or Two Hours a Day.
5) Psychomotor agitation or Psychomotor retardation.
Which is people with depression their body movements may seem shaky or jittery or nervous. Or their bodily movements may seem extremely slow like they often report that I feel like I'm walking in vacuum space.
6) Poor Concentration or Poor Memory.
How Poor?
They may have difficulty in having conversations and difficulties in listening to meetings.
They even have trouble recalling what they just ate and who they just spoke with and what day is today? Etc.
7) Fatigue and Low Energy.
They report that they feel exhaustion and boredom all the time.
8) Excessive Feelings of Guilt and Worthlessness.
To be clear - They ponder over the thinking that makes them feel guilty and worthless even more. The Sad part here is they find this comforting and they wish to stay this way (This is why I urge you to reach out to get help for them. Because they don't even aware of the thought that they need help. Actually that's even more dangerous).
9) Suicidal Ideation.
They'll have many plots and ideas of how to escape this depression. By taking their own lives.
Keep in mind - always consult with mental health professionals before giving antidepressants when they have high suicide ideation.
Antidepressants make them feel energized and helps them to do what needs to be done (killing themselves) when they didn't have that kind of energy to do that earlier. Soooo if you give antidepressants without consulting your therapist. Things will go sideways fast.
Many cases have been reported like this.
Please be aware of proper techniques to keep your loved safe and healthy.
Again, if you exhibit 5 or above 5. Please reach out to the Mental Health Professionals, immediately.
Also if you still require additional information to make sure you have depression or not. I will attach some Standardized Self-Assessment Questionnaires in the description. Go to the link Download it. Fill it. Score it. Now you have your answer.
Don't you forgot one thing - "There is hope. For everyone and everything. One way or the other."
With care, Mr. A
