Answer 2

If you're sad, tired, or angry all the time. If you're exhausted but can't sleep. If you suddenly lose weight. If you don't have the urge to eat. find yourself hating things you used to love doing. If you feel indifferent toward the world, like you don't care about anything anymore. If you cry uncontrollably and don't know why.

If you're asking for a friend, just watch them carefully. If they seem tired, if they lose interest in things they used to love, if you see any unusual or suspicious scars on them, if they stop eating or lose lots of weight, etc.

IMPORTANT: If you ever feel the urge to hurt or kill yourself, or if you suspect someone else is going to harm themselves in any way, DON'T DO IT AND TELL SOMEONE IMMEDIATELY. I have depression and I know sometimes it feels like it'd be easier just to end it all, but whatever you do, DO. NOT. HURT. YOURSELF. There is ALWAYS another option.

Answer 3

Everyone gets depressed from time to time when they feel sad or unhappy and they usually feel better after a short time. When these depressed feelings do not go away and last for long periods of time, then the person may be suffering from depression. Clinical depression is an illness that changes your perception of everyday events. It also affects your behavior and feelings so that you cannot see things in a positive way. It is a chronic condition that can improve with treatment that may include counseling and medication.

Symptoms of Depression

Some symptoms are seen in the way a depressed person feels. These include unhappy feelings and not enjoying certain activities that were enjoyed previously. A person suffering from depression will often feel frustrated or irritated over both big and small things. The person may also feel worthless and blame himself for anything that isn't good. He may also feel helpless in certain situations or hopeless. In severe cases, he may hate himself and have extreme guilt.

Other symptoms present in the way a person thinks. A person with depression will many times have trouble concentrating and may speak or think slower than usual. It may be hard for him to make decisions and he may have trouble with his memory. In more severe cases the person will have thoughts of suicide or death.

Physical symptoms include body pain that has no explanation and lack of energy for even small jobs. Depression often brings changes in appetite that may result in either weight gain or loss. A person with depression will appear to be agitated and restless and may pace the floor or wring their hands.

Some of the other symptoms include lack of libido and trouble sleeping that may make the person sleep too much or experience insomnia. A person suffering from depression may withdraw from others and become isolated. He may also appear to be angry or discouraged rather than sad or unhappy.
