Depression- Symptoms and Where To Get Help

• Some Common Depression Symptoms: 
• Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, helplessness, or hopelessness
• 
  
• Loss of interest or pleasure in usual activities, including sex
•  
• Difficulty concentrating and complaints of poor memory
•  
• Insomnia or oversleeping
•  
• Appetite changes, which may include weight gain or loss
•  
• Fatigue, lack of energy
•  
• Thoughts of suicide or death
•  
• Slow speech; slow movements

*  In children and teens- they may include: 

  Trouble with sleep

 Stomachache, dizziness

-  Social withdrawal, weight loss

-Drug abuse or alcohol abuse, a change in school   performance            

 Difficulty concentrating  

 Isolation from family and friends

         

   There is a difference between just feeling sad or "depressed" and having a “clinical” depressive mental illness. If you have low spirits for a while, there may not be cause for alarm. However, if you feel like you cannot lift yourself out of your low spirits, and/or begin to notice other physical symptoms such as changes in sleep, appetite, or energy, you should seek professional help.
