Depression

Occasional sad moods happen to all of us. It’s not unusual to sometimes feel “blue” or “not like yourself.” But if you experience a loss of interest in formerly pleasurable activities, or a depressed mood that lasts for at least two weeks, you may be suffering from clinical depression. This is not a sign of weakness or a character flaw. Depression is a highly treatable biological/physical illness. Some or all of the following symptoms often accompany depression:

• Frequent body aches and pains
• Persistent anger or irritability
• Increased or decreased appetite
• Too much or too little sleep or difficulty sleeping through the night
• Restlessness
• Fatigue without physical exertion
• Feelings of worthlessness or guilt
• Trouble getting through the day
• Thoughts of suicide
• Frequent crying
• Loss of interest in physical appearance
• Lack of emotional response
• Anxiety
