What are symptons of depression?!

In most cases to receive treatment for depression you do need to be diagnosed by a doctor!. Usually your primary care doctor will do it, or they may refer you to a psychiatrist for evaluation for medications, etc!. You don't have to be suicidal or a cutter to suffer from depression!. Also it is unusual for people to suffer from all of the symptoms listed for depression!.

From the Mayo Clinic on Major Depression:
"Signs and symptoms
Symptoms of depression include:

Loss of interest in normal daily activities
Feeling sad or down
Feeling hopeless
Crying spells for no apparent reason
Problems sleeping
Trouble focusing or concentrating
Difficulty making decisions
Unintentional weight gain or loss
Irritability
Restlessness
Being easily annoyed
Feeling fatigued or weak
Feeling worthless
Loss of interest in sex
Thoughts of suicide or suicidal behavior
Unexplained physical problems, such as back pain or headaches

Depression symptoms can vary greatly because different people experience depression in different ways!. For some people, depression symptoms are so severe that it's obvious something isn't right!. Others may feel generally miserable or unhappy without really knowing why!."

I have included a couple of links on depression and the symptoms!. I also included two links that allow you to fill out a questionaire that can help you determine if you think you are depressed and you can print out the results and bring them to your doctor!.

Take Care,
