The common symptoms of depression include thoughts, feelings, physical symptoms, and actions.
Depression is characterized by persistent negative thoughts, often directed at the self, but also directed outward, thoughts like "I'm a failure." or "No one loves me." or "The world is a terrible place." Depressive thoughts are characterized by all-or-none (black-and-white) thinking, overgeneralizations, jumping to negative conclusions when not warranted, labelling of people, and other logical fallacies or cognitive distortions that lead to a negative outlook on life. Also common in more severe depression, and sometimes present to some degree in more mild depressions are suicidal thoughts.
The feelings that are common symptoms of depression include feelings of sadness, despair, hopelessness, guilt, loneliness, and often a numbness or feeling of disconnection, especially from normally pleasurable activities.
The physical symptoms of depression include tiredness, trouble sleeping, or sleeping too much, increased or decreased appetite, loss of sex drive. Another common symptom is that all pain and discomfort in the body seems magnified; sometimes pain and discomfort will be felt even where there is no clear medical cause.
The actions that are the most common symptoms of depression are procrastination, and spending less time with family, friends, or co-workers. Depression often exacerbates other psychological problems, and can also manifest in other ways such as anger, obsessive-compulsive behavior, or irrational worrying about health.
