What are the Symptoms of Depression?
Depression is far more than just feeling sad and down. It affects everyone differently, feeding off of their individual experiences and personality. Some symptoms remain true throughout depression though. If you think you or a loved one may be struggling with depression, the Dover counselors don’t want you to walk alone. We are here for you. Some of those more common signs of depression include:
- Feeling worthless
- Having no energy (may be called “lazy”)
- A loss of interest in things that used to bring you joy
- Mental fog (not thinking straight)
- Abnormal sleeping patterns (sleeping too much or too little)
- Unordinary eating habits (eating too much or too little)
- Irritability
- Changes in sex drive
- Feeling down or sad
- Suicidal thoughts or behavior
Of course, this is only the start of all the ways depression can impact your life. It can impair everything from your career to social life to individual passions. It’s truly something no one should have to live with. Including you! Thriveworks Depression Counseling in Dover is ready to help you take back your life from the snares of depression.
