Hi, I am Qila.
On this occasion, I will talk about 5 Common Signs of Depression that you should to know.
Knowing the early 5 Common Signs of Depression can help you receive the best treatment
before it becomes serious or even life threatening.
So let's get started with a closer look at what Depression is first
Being unhappy isn't the same as being depressed.
Depression is a term often used loosely to describe how we feel after a bad week at work or when we get dumped.
But major depressive disorder, a type of depression is much more complicated.
There are specific signs that determine whether it's depression or just a case of the Mondays.
Equally, not everyone who is experiencing depression will have all of these signs.
Major depression is a mood disorder that affects the way you feel about life in general.
But It's important to remember that depression is an illness that affects both the body and mind
The good news about depression is that almost everyone suffering from this condition can be helped with treatment,
so it is important to recognize the signs of depression.
And here are 5 Common Signs of Depression that you should to know:
1. Lost Interest.
One common sign of depression is a loss of interest in activities that the person once enjoyed.
Depression can take the pleasure or enjoyment out of the things you love before.
A loss of interest or withdrawal from activities that you once looked forward to,
such as sports, hobbies, or going out with friends are yet another telltale sign of major depression.
Typically, people who suffer from depression lose interest in doing things that they once enjoyed doing.
If a person who loved spending time with her grandchildren suddenly doesn't want to see them,
or a guy who loves to fish suddenly hangs up his rods, it could be a warning sign of depression.
Brain changes during depression can make you less engaged and motivated.
2. Sleep Problems.
The second common sign of depression is sleep problems.
An inability to sleep is a big warning sign of depression.
This can either come as a slight problem with sleeping enough to feel fully rested,
or it can be full-blown insomnia.
Waking up too early or constantly waking up during the night.
Part of the reason you might stop doing things you enjoy is because you feel very tired.
Depression often comes with a lack of energy and an overwhelming feeling of lethargy,
which can be the most debilitating symptoms of depression.
Some depressed people stop being able to sleep, and when we don't sleep, our mental state begins to fray.
On the other hand, some depressed people may find it difficult to get out of bed and may sleep for long periods during the day.
Depression can also cause intense fatigue that doesn't go away even after you've had a good night's rest.
Take a look at your sleep habits and energy level.
Have they changed for reasons you don't understand?
Talk to your doctor for get an evaluation.
3. Uncontrollable Emotions.
Another common sign of depression is uncontrollable emotions.
One minute it's an outburst of anger. The next you're crying uncontrollably.
Nothing outside of you prompted the change, but your emotions are up and down at a moment's notice.
Depression can swing your moods around, keeping you away from the calm you so desperately want.
In a similar way to another mood disorder, moods can fluctuate uncontrollably,
which is one reason why the two are often confused
4. Digestive Problems
The fourth common sign of depression is digestive problems.
There's the connection between digestive problems such as bloating,
constipation, irritable bowels and depression.
The nervous system of our intestines is so complex.
It has an estimated 500 million neurons that neuroscientists often refer to the gut as the second brain.
In fact, the nerve cells in our gut manufacture 80 to 90 percent of our body's serotonin.
That's more than our brain makes.
If you are a person who has struggled with stomach and digestion issues,
you might be surprised to learn that some depression
and anxiety symptoms can be relieved by tending to the gut and feeding it organisms
the right kind of bacteria in a probiotic that keep it happy.
5. You feel nothing or even feel hurts.
The last common sign of depression is feel nothing or even feel hurts.
Feeling blah? Neutral? Numb? Most of us have motivations that get us out of bed in the morning,
whether it's work, exercise, socializing, or making breakfast.
But for people who are depressed, those pulls dry up.
And things that once brought tears or smiles now barely register.
This kind of zombie behavior is a hallmark sign of mental illness,
and it can make you seem cold, distant or aloof, pushing away the people who would otherwise give you love and support.
On the other hand, the relationship between depression and pain is incredibly complicated.
People who live with chronic daily pain are at a high risk for becoming depressed.
It hurts to hurt and to feel limited or trapped by pain.
But depression can also increase our brain's sensitivity to pain, making us more likely to just feel bad all over.
Are you worried that you or someone you know, may have Depression?
Having some of the signs of Depression doesn't mean you definitely have the condition,
but you should always contact your doctor, just to make sure.
The earlier you can identify you're having a Depression, the better your chances are at full recovery.
While it may seem like a small issue, it's never a bad idea to get checked out if there's cause for concern.
Ruling out a Depression or getting early treatment could save your life.
