Depression - warning signs and when to worry

In this video I explore the six most common warning signs that might indicate that a young person (or any person for that matter!) might be suffering from depression. I also explain that we should be most worried if we see several of these signs over a period of weeks or more and when we are seeing a significant impact on the young person's day to day life.

This is a very helpful video for me even, as someone who isn't necessarily tapped into my emotions and get a lot more depressed than I am aware of/ it looks like I am (basically cause of autism I need someone with a large stick to prod me and remind me that I have feelings).

So helpful Pooky. Your videos are such a valuable resource for me to help me remind myself and explain to others what happens to me xx

I’ve only noticed recently I’ve lost interest in the things I used to do, I would play on Xbox for hours and now I barely play because I’m on my own and i just stay in bed all day when I can
