Depression is different from feeling down or having a bad day. It’s when you can’t get out of bed, are having trouble eating, can’t sleep or are sleeping all day and are isolating from friends or family.

These are a few of the symptoms that people who are struggling with clinical depression experience. However, depression doesn’t look the same on everyone.

You may be depressed and not realize it. Maybe you’re feeling fatigued much of the time. Perhaps you find yourself irritable or snapping at your loved ones. These things could indicate that you’re depressed and it’s crucial to find out if this is the case so you can get the right treatment. Here are some symptoms of depression to look out for so you can get help.

• You have a frequent depressed mood the majority of the day, and mainly waking up sad You feel exhausted or fatigued during the day, or you have difficulty getting out of bed in the morning

• Feelings of worthlessness or lack of self-esteem

Sometimes it can be hard to differentiate between depression and other mental health conditions, which is why taking a quiz can shed light on your psychological state. Don’t be afraid of the results!

I notice with every little test even the small supposed to be fun online ones

It says I have depression. And the ones that are that detailed, put me in the category for severe depression

And all anyone can say is get help.

Maybe I can’t. Maybe I’m too scared. Maybe it’s another task that’s too difficult for me. Maybe I need help getting help.

What a quite interesting video I've found! Depression distorts the function of the brain in the long run. The earlier one discovers the symptoms and tries to overcome it, the better. Otherwise it affects the cognitive and emotional functions of the person. Thanks for sharing this with us! I'll be looking forward to watch your next videos.

Big fan of your videos, the topics are very interesting, Depression is more than just feeling “down.” It is a serious illness caused by changes in brain chemistry. Research tells us that other factors contribute to the onset of depression, including genetics, changes in hormone levels, certain medical conditions, stress, grief or difficult life circumstances.
