Depression is the most common mood disorder. There is a very wide range of symptoms associated with depression. Most commonly people think the symptoms include general and persistent sadness and hopelessness. Most patients do feel incredibly isolated and alone as if there is no option or way out. Sometimes the symptoms are more subtle yet still quite debilitating. Some other very common symptoms of depression include:
- Low self-esteem
- Overwhelming guilt
- Not sleeping or sleeping too much
- Loss of interest in activities you used to enjoy, including sex
- Common physical complaints that don’t improve with treatment (headaches, stomachaches, back pain, fatigue)
- Irritability, hostility, and aggression
- Eating too much or too little
- Suicidal thoughts (please seek help right away if you are experiencing this)
