Everyone gets down from time to time, but feelings of sadness that last two or more weeks may be a sign of depression. Depression causes persistent feelings of sadness and loss of interest. It affects how you feel, think, and behave. It significantly impacts normal day-to-day activities and can lead to serious emotional and physical problems.

Depression affects more than 16 million American adults each year, yet only about a third of those suffering from severe depression seek treatment from a mental health professional. Too many people resist treatment because they believe depression isn’t serious, that they can treat it themselves or don’t consider it a medical illness.

What are Signs & Symptoms of Depression?

Common symptoms of depression include:

Persistent sad, anxious, or “empty” mood
Feelings of hopelessness or pessimism
Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, or helplessness
Loss of pleasure or interest in hobbies or activities
Changes in appetite or unplanned weight changes (weight gain or weight loss)
Angry outbursts, feelings of irritability, frustration, or restlessness
Difficulty concentrating, remembering things, or making decisions
Loss of energy, fatigue, or being “slowed down”
Difficulty sleeping, early morning awakening, or oversleeping
Unexplained physical symptoms that do not ease with treatment
Suicide attempts or thoughts of death or suicide

Depression is more than just a case of the blues. It isn’t something you can “snap out” of. However, depression is very treatable. Treatments for depression include lifestyle changes, support groups, medications, and therapy. People can recover from depression and live long and healthy lives.

Screening For Depression

Depression is one of the most common diagnoses detected early from mental health screenings. Utilizing an online screening tool is one of the quickest and easiest ways to determine whether you are experiencing symptoms of a mental illness. This self-assessment tool can help with early identification and encourages early intervention. The screening is private, anonymous, quick, and accessible. You can take our free, completely anonymous, and confidential online depression self-assessment.
