TEN WARNING SIGNS OF DEPRESSION
Do you know the signs of this serious mental disorder well enough to recognize it in yourself or others? Here are the most common symptoms.
Causes of depression:-
1. MOOD SWINGS.
Although many people focus on the sadness and hopelessness that a person with depression feels, few realize that mood problems are common. Mood swings or irritability is another common problem for people with this mental health problem.
2. SLEEP PROBLEMS
You may notice that you sleep too much or too little when you are depressed. Your body's hormone levels are high, which can disrupt your sleep patterns.
3. GENERAL PHYSICAL DISCOMFORT
Depression is associated with tension and fatigue, and all this distress can affect your muscles. You may notice that you have headaches, aches and a general flu-like feeling that won't go away. This is a common sign of depression when there are no underlying medical problems.
Some people feel like they've had a good workout at the gym, but haven't lifted a finger.
4. LITTLE OR NO ENERGY
Depression drains your resources to the point where you feel like you can't get much done in a day. You may feel weak and tired all the time without knowing why.
5. FEELINGS OF HOPELESSNESS AND HELPLESSNESS.
Life is hard, but depressed people tend to blame themselves for things that are out of their control. If you feel like you have no hope and no way out of your situation, it's time to get help.
6. CONCENTRATION PROBLEMS
If you can't get anything together and your concentration is out of control, it may be due to depression. Your brain chemicals are out of balance, which can also affect your concentration.
7. RECKLESS BEHAVIOR
Did you know that certain reckless behaviors can be linked to depression? You can become so depressed that you feel you have nothing left to live for, and that can be a dangerous condition.
8. ISOLATION
Do you want to lock yourself in a room and wait for the world to end?
9. LOSS OF INTEREST/LACK OF FUN.
How often do your friends call you to ask you out, but you ignore their requests? You may have arranged to go to a social event, but you cancel at the last minute. Depression makes you feel that you no longer want or enjoy the things that used to give you so much pleasure.
10. LACRIMS
Do you cry a lot? Do you seem more tearful than usual? Depression can turn your emotions upside down and you may find yourself crying over the smallest things.
