Depression is perhaps the most common of all the mental health problems, currently felt to affect one in every four adults to some degree. Feeling down from time to time is a normal part of life, but when emotions such as hopelessness and despair take hold and just won't go away, you may have depression. During the time of depression, the individual will exhibit these following symptoms.
1. Markedly diminished interest in all or almost all activities -
If a person is depressed he would find it very hard and almost impossible to get involved in social events and congregations. There would be no will to carry out even the daily activities like going to school, college or office, spending time with your loved ones, or having sex. Nothing would give emotions like pleasure, interest or joy. There is no energy to do even normal things, not is there any vigor for the same.
2. Feelings of inadequacy, loss of self-esteem, and/or self-deprecation -
A depressed person never feels optimistic about anything. All he would feel is hatred towards others and self with a lot of thoughts will keep pinching all the time like "I can never do anything good in life", "everything is my fault", "I am always wrong" and much more. All these thoughts and things which hit the depressed person's mind, again and again, make him dull and intense dislike.
3. Insomnia or excessive sleeping -
The moods of a depressed person would usually range from sad, enough to be manifested in the form of hours of crying, to anger which too is enough to compel an extremely violent behavior. It is common to note the sudden mood drift. An extremely happy mindset might change to rage or crying in no time.
4. Recurrent thoughts of death or suicide, an expressed desire to be dead -
This symptom points out to a severe long-standing depression and is definitely alarming. On an average 90% of people who commit suicide tend to suffer from some grade of depression.As a matter of fact, a lot of us have thought about ending this life at some point in time when nothing made sense. But depressed people think of suicide and death quite frequently.
