Understanding depression
Depression symptoms vary from person to person and may change throughout different stages of life. Common symptoms include:
Emotional symptoms
Persistent sadness or low mood
Feelings of hopelessness
Irritability
Feelings of guilt or worthlessness
Loss of interest in activities once enjoyed
Physical symptoms
Fatigue or low energy
Changes in sleep patterns
Changes in appetite
Difficulty concentrating
Slowed movement or speech
Cognitive symptoms
Trouble making decisions
Difficulty focusing
Negative thinking
Feeling overwhelmed by everyday tasks
Thoughts of death or suicide*
Please Note: Experiencing one or more of these symptoms does not necessarily mean someone has depression. Consulting with a psychiatric professional can help determine the underlying cause of your concerns and relevant next steps.
Depression can influence many aspects of everyday life, including:
Work performance
Academic success
Relationships
Physical health
Sleep quality
Daily responsibilities
Self-confidence
Overall quality of life
For many individuals, depression can make even routine tasks feel difficult. Receiving the right support can help improve mood, restore daily functioning, and provide greater confidence over time.
If you or someone you know is experiencing thoughts of suicide or is in immediate danger, call 911 or 988, or go to your nearest emergency department immediately.
