What is depression?
Depression is a feeling of sadness and unhappiness that can last for a long time. Depression can interfere with your ability to work, study, eat, sleep, and enjoy life. Just trying to get through the day can be overwhelming. Feeling down from time to time is a normal part of life, but when emotions such as hopelessness and despair just won't go away, you may have depression.
What are the symptoms of depression?
Although depression symptoms are different for everybody, these are some of the signs that can help you recognize if you or someone you love might be depressed.
- Feeling sad or having a depressed mood
- Loss of interest or pleasure in activities once enjoyed
- Changes in appetite — weight loss or gain unrelated to dieting
- Trouble sleeping or sleeping too much
- Loss of energy or increased fatigue
- Increase in purposeless physical activity (e.g., inability to sit still, pacing, handwringing) or slowed movements or speech (these actions must be severe enough to be observable by others)
- Feeling worthless or guilty
- Difficulty thinking, concentrating, or making decisions
- Thoughts of death or suicide. (please seek help immediately)
Fortunately, depression is treatable and FoundCare's behavioral health professionals are here to help. Walk-ins are welcome and no appointment is needed to join.
