Common Signs of Depression

What are Common Symptoms of depression?

Here are some common symptoms of depression, from the mild form to the severe form.

MILD –> SEVERE

Blue, down –> severe sadness
Not in mood to socialize –> lack of interest in usual activities
More quickly to blame self –> excessive & inappropriate guilt
Clothes fit looser –> significant weight loss
Ruminating at bed time; falling asleep takes a little longer –> insomnia
Feeling as if moving slowly; not mentally sharp –> psychomotor retardation
Wish pain would go away; thoughts of running away; pessimistic –> suicidal; not caring if died
Self-doubt; some self-criticism –> feelings of worthlessness

 
I’ve experienced many on this list…

What about you? Have you experienced these symptoms?

Is this list missing key symptoms (other than possible weight GAIN rather than weight loss; hypersomnia rather than INsomnia)?

Let me know!
