Understanding the signs of depression



Frustration has become a common factor in our life. We deal with a multitude of problems and it is ok if we at times feel low. But if such feeling is prolonged for a longer period then it is called depression. Signs of depression are almost known to all but what is unknown is the fact that depression has to do a lot with our physical self. Depression does not come alone but headaches, chest pain, back pain, exhaustion, digestive problems, dizziness, lack of sleep, weight problems are all signs of depression. 

It’s surprising as to how our mind is directly related to our body. Depression comes in different varieties. It may be a light blow where you become all good after experiencing a few ‘blues’ or it may choose to torment you for the rest of your life making your life miserable. A person may suddenly feel sad or alone despite being in a crowd, children will get irritated often; all signs of depression. When sadness crosses its limit it results in depression. You don’t even feel to eat your favorite food or meet your friends; you don’t feel like doing anything and often become suicidal. These are all signs of depression which if continues then the person is advised to consult a doctor.
