Depression Can Be Dealt! Some Common Signs And Symptoms Of Mental Illness

Signs of Anxiety

Persistent sad, anxious, or ‘empty’ mood, feelings of hopelessness or pessimism, feelings of guilt, worthlessness, or helplessness are some of the common symptoms that can be talked.

Family History

Inherited. The problem can run in families and some people will be at an increased genetic risk.

Lack of involvement

People in depression may reflect loss of interest or pleasure in hobbies and activities. Fatigue, lack of energy, or feeling slowed down can be among the reasons.

Decision making

Difficulty concentrating, remembering, or making decisions are among some serious symptoms that should be addressed. Difficulty sleeping, early-morning awakening, or oversleeping could be the reason.

Mood Swings

Restlessness or feeling on edge, increased crying, anger or irritability, isolating from family and friends can be noticed at some stages.

Health Issues

Changes in appetite or weight. Increased use of alcohol or drugs are some signs but may vary from person to person. Some may also experience thoughts of death or suicide. Mental health professions should be consulted immediately.

Consultation

It is important to note that not everyone who is depressed experiences all of these symptoms, and the severity of the symptoms can vary from person to person. If you are experiencing five or more of these symptoms for two weeks or more, it is important to see a doctor or mental health professional to get a diagnosis and discuss treatment options.
