Answers: What are the symptoms, signs and behavior of depression or one with depression?

People vary, but common signs are sleep disturbances (insomnia or sleeping too much), appetite disorders (lack of hunger or overeating), lack of interest in former activities, apathy, crying, anger, suicidal thoughts and so on. Depressed people have a very difficult time getting motivated to do even simple things for themselves. They miss work, have trouble getting out of bed, feel exhausted and stressed out, and so on. Many self-medicate with alcohol or other intoxicants.

For me it was sleeping all the time, not going out with friends, but still feeling lonely and sad about it. Hating myself.... hating other people...

Well you feel that life sucks, and nothing is going in the right direction. Your always sad, and hopeless and feel worthless. You feel like you don't fit in with society and everything is just, useless. Oh and you constantly have suicidal thoughts. Hopefully your not depressed.

For myself I realized that if I had to ask myself if I was depressed then I probably was. So I looked online for self assessments. I found some really good ones at this address: https://www.mentalhealthscreening.org. I fit the criteria like loss of interest in everyday life, family, friends and isolation. I got hooked up with a good clinician and am doing well on medications. Even if you are not sure about seeing a doctor the website is very informative and helpful. They also link to other depression sites.Use it. Be well.
