Life presents us with a fair share of challenges, losses and struggles. It is a normal reaction to feel lonely, sad, or depressed under such circumstances. When these feelings become overwhelming, long lasting and cause physical symptoms, they likely interfere with our ability to lead a productive normal life.
Common symptoms of depression include:
- Sadness
- Pessimism
- Feelings of helplessness and hopelessness
- Feelings of guilt and worthlessness
- Loss of interest in activities and things you once found to be pleasurable
- Inability to feel joy
- Restlessness, irritability, feeling anxious
- Thoughts of death or suicide
- Fatigue and little energy
- Insomnia, early morning waking, or sleeping too much
- Loss of appetite or overeating, weight loss or weight gain
- Digestive problems
- Headaches, back pain, and other aches and pains
- Trouble concentrating
- Difficulties remembering details


Do any of these thoughts enter your mind?
- “I am worthless and I can’t do anything about it.”
- “I hate who I am these days.”
- “I can’t stop crying, which makes me want to stay away from others.”
- “I feel gut wrenching pain, but no one understands.”
- “My life and the world around me are dark. I hate it.”
If you have had any variation of these symptoms and thoughts and you don’t feel like your usual self, chances are you may be suffering from clinical depression.
