  • The symptoms of a major depressive episode are: the person has lost their zest for life; they hide out in their home; they refuse to speak to loved ones or friends and back away from any social events. They may turn to pill popping; street drugs; prescription drugs; alcohol; gambling; sleeping around when they normally would not; cheating on their spouse; expressing they are going to take their own life or they may simply vanish from their families for months to years. Everything to a majorly depressed person is black and they never see the good or bright side of life. The deep pitfalls of 'an episode' is the person can show signs of rage; contemplating suicide; blaming others for their short-comings; crying often; threatening to harm themselves and those they love or they completely shut-down and sleep for hours a day; not eat; become sloppy in their physical appearance and have a messy home.
