8 Major Symptoms Of Depression One Shouldn't Ignore

Consult A Doctor

As we discuss the symptoms of depression, it's important to note that these are the generic ones and it should not be taken as a substitute for a medical expert's advice. Always consult a medical professional if you are experiencing any symptoms and seek help.

Hopeless outlook

People who are depressed often experience feelings of hopelessness, though this is not the same across all races and ethnicities.

Appetite and weight

Weight and appetite can fluctuate for people with depression.

Loss of interest

Depression can take pleasure or enjoyment out of the things people love.

Anxiety

Depression and anxiety often occur together.

Irritability

Research shows that men with depression may also experience irritability, escapist or risky behavior, substance abuse, or misplaced anger.

Uncontrollable emotions

Depression can cause mood swings that fluctuate wildly, and it has nothing to do with anything outside of the person experiencing them.

Fatigue and sleep problems

Part of the reason that people living with depression might stop doing things they enjoy is because they feel very tired.
