Answers:
Hi,
Clinical depression is a medical condition where a person feels very low or sad over a long period of time. It is more severe than the general feeling of hopelessness that a person may feel after a particularly stressful event in her life and often results in a change in the person's functioning. During bouts of depression, a person feels extremely dejected and has feelings of inadequacy or low self esteem. They take a gloomy outlook upon life.
Following are the symptoms.
A patient with depression may have physical symptoms in addition to psychological ones. The most commonly seen symptoms are:
Sleep disturbance, either excessive sleep or insomnia (lack of sleep)
Continuous fatigue and tiredness
Headache
Feeling of irritability and excessive crying
Loss of appetite
Loss of interest in any activity
Vague pains in the body
Fluctuation in weight
Constipation
Decrease in sexual urge
Poor concentration
Poor co-ordination of limbs
Feelings of worthlessness, helplessness and guilt
Suicidal thoughts sometimes culminating in suicide attempts.
