Understanding Depression: Common Signs You Shouldn’t Ignore

Depression is more than just feeling sad or having a bad day. It’s a serious mental health condition that affects how you think, feel, and handle daily activities. Many people don’t realize they are experiencing depression until it starts impacting their work, relationships, and overall well-being.

Here are some common signs of depression you should never ignore:

• Persistent feelings of sadness, emptiness, or hopelessness

• Loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed

• Changes in appetite or weight

• Trouble sleeping or sleeping too much

• Fatigue or low energy almost every day

• Difficulty concentrating, making decisions, or remembering things

• Feelings of worthlessness or excessive guilt

• Thoughts of death or suicide

If you recognize several of these signs in yourself or someone you care about, it’s important to reach out for support. Depression is treatable, and early intervention can make a significant difference in recovery.
