Are you clinically depressed?

If you identify with several of the following signs and symptoms, and they just won’t go away, you may be suffering from clinical depression.

* Feelings of helplessness and hopelessness. A bleak outlook—nothing will ever get better and there’s nothing you can do to improve your situation.

* Loss of interest in daily activities. No interest in or ability to enjoy former hobbies, pastimes, social activities, or sex.

* Appetite or weight changes. Significant weight loss or weight gain—a change of more than 5% of body weight in a month.

* Sleep changes. Either insomnia, especially waking in the early hours of the morning, or oversleeping (also known as hypersomnia).

* Psychomotor agitation or retardation. Either feeling “keyed up” and restless or sluggish and physically slowed down.

* Loss of energy. Feeling fatigued and physically drained. Even small tasks are exhausting or take longer.

* Self-loathing. Strong feelings of worthlessness or guilt. Harsh criticism of perceived faults and mistakes.

* Concentration problems. Trouble focusing, making decisions, or remembering things.

* Thoughts of death or suicide: A serious symptom of depression
