Depression, which doctors call major depressive disorder, disrupts your life. These symptoms last two or more weeks. They include:
- Feeling sad, grouchy, or tense most of the time
- Less interest or pleasure in usual activities or hobbies
- Low energy or feeling tired, even when you’re not active
- Appetite change with weight gain or loss
- A change in sleeping habits (trouble sleeping, waking early, or sleeping too much)
- Feeling restless or slowed down
- Trouble making decisions or concentrating
- Feeling worthless, hopeless, or guilty
- Thoughts of suicide or death
If you have one or more of these symptoms, talk with your doctor.
If you’re thinking of suicide, please contact your doctor, or go to your local hospital or emergency room, as soon as possible.
