To help you recognize depression that warrants concern, whether in yourself or a loved one, here are eight depression symptoms - some of which you might even find surprising - that you shouldn’t ignore. “Depression symptoms are particularly troubling if someone displays more than one or if they persist for more than two weeks,” says Simon Rego, PsyD, a professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Albert Einstein College of Medicine and the chief of psychology at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx, New York. Others may quickly progress from their usual state to a severe depressive episode.
IM SAD FOR NO REASON TV
Symptoms may gradually go from mild, such as choosing to stay home to watch TV instead of going out for a walk with a friend, to more severe, such as not even getting out of bed to shower or persistent thoughts of suicide. There’s no one pattern to depression, and the condition can vary in progression from person to person. “Oftentimes the changes are subtle, and the person may not notice, but their friends and loved ones may,” says Boadie Dunlop, MD, director of the mood and anxiety disorders program in the psychiatry department at Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta. What’s more, a study from 2020 found that the prevalence of depression symptoms tripled in the United States during the COVID-19 pandemic.ĭepression symptoms aren’t always as obvious as frequent crying and overwhelming despair. adults - approximately 21 million people - had at least one major depressive episode, according to the National Institute of Mental Health. If you or someone you know is struggling with depression, you’re far from alone.
