Someone tell me the exact symptoms of depression?!


Question: Someone tell me the exact symptoms of depression?
Well I've never been depressed basically my whole life but for the past year I've been feeling like im 'detached' from my surrounds . I've gotten dumber and my memory has gotten worse out of no where , I can't even focuse on school work like I used to be able to . When I go outside it feels so weird like I know where I'm at and what my surrounds are but at the same time everything feels unrecognizeable . I've been out of school and am getting homeschooled now for about two years . I'm also always feeling less energetic than I've ever been and when I do feel like I'm energized again and not feeling alot of fatigue I feel like feel normal again but not all the way .... Any suggestions would help ALOT , Thank you .

I think you are clinically depressed, or at least on the verge of it. That sounds a lot like how I feel right before a depressive episode. Talk to your parents about how you feel, and ask to see a therapist or psychiatrist(if you feel it's bad enough to need anti-depressants). I know you may feel like it will never end, but I PROMISE YOU that it will. It always ends eventually. You'll be okay.

To answer your real question, here is what I found as for symptoms on webmd:
* difficulty concentrating, remembering details, and making decisions
* fatigue and decreased energy
* feelings of guilt, worthlessness, and/or helplessness
* feelings of hopelessness and/or pessimism
* insomnia, early-morning wakefulness, or excessive sleeping
* irritability, restlessness
* loss of interest in activities or hobbies once pleasurable, including sex
* overeating or appetite loss
* persistent aches or pains, headaches, cramps, or digestive problems that do not ease even with treatment
* persistent sad, anxious, or "empty" feelings
* thoughts of suicide, suicide attempts
