A depressed person will exhibit a low mood that affects all aspects of their life coupled with an inability to experience pleasure in activities that were otherwise enjoyed.

5 SIGNS OF DEPRESSION SHOULD NOT TO BE IGNORED

#1 Change in Appetite or Weight

Both appetite and weight can either increase or decrease in association with depression. In general it seems heavier people tend to eat more when depressed, whereas thinner people tend to eat less. However, when depression gets bad enough, even overweight patients lose their appetite. 

Another sign of depression is weight loss without necessarily noticing that appetite has decreased. This is true of the elderly and children more so than people in between, but it can occur at any age. In general, whether eating too little or too much, depressed patients report little satisfaction from whatever they do eat.

#2 Change in Activity

Most patients suffering from clinical depression exhibit a change in activity or interest in activities. Typically this is a decrease. They lose interest in work, hobbies, friends, relationships. 

Occasionally a person will become more active, particularly someone suffering from bipolar depression. Also, just as some people get angry and irritable when drinking alcohol, an increase in physical aggressiveness may occur. On the whole, though, decreased activity is much more common.

#3 Change in Sleep Pattern

Some people suffering from depression sleep more than usual. Others sleep too little. Insomnia can involve difficulty falling asleep, difficulty staying asleep, or both. 

One common pattern is awakening much earlier than you want to, say at 3 or 4 a.m., then being unable to return to sleep. Regardless of whether a depressed patient is getting too much sleep or too little, either way they don't feel rested and refreshed in the morning.

#4 Chronic Fatigue and Exhaustion

Depression doesn’t just drain your emotions, but also your energy. As a result, it can prevent you from completing important tasks. Exhaustion can be due to poor sleep and/or contribute to oversleeping.

Furthermore, feeling exhausted all the time can keep you from being physically or emotionally present for significant personal and professional milestones. When this happens, it can result in feelings of worthlessness, worsening your depression as a whole. 

#5 Vague Physical Symptoms

When doctors encounter symptoms they cannot explain or symptoms that don't resolve with normal therapies, the real problem may be depression. Because patients are not feeling well they may forget to mention other symptoms such as unhappiness. 

It helps to bring a close friend or relative along who can give a more objective view. If you're suffering from vague physical symptoms and your doctor doesn't consider depression, bring it up yourself. You might be doing yourself a big favor.

If you see yourself in this list of symptoms, make an appointment with your doctor. There are many safe and effective treatments to help you both feel and function like your normal self.

These are considered as the most important signs of Depression.
