- Constantly feeling tired even after getting rest.
- Sleep changes such as excessive time spent sleeping or insomnia.
- Appetite changes potentially leading to significant weight gain or loss.
- Unexplained physical issues and complaints like headaches or stomach aches.
- Deep, ongoing feelings of sadness, emptiness or hopelessness.
- Lack of interest in things that once brought joy.
- Feeling excessively guilty or shameful.
- Problems focusing, remembering details or making decisions.
- Avoiding social activities.
- Neglecting responsibilities.
- Movement changes such as slowed speech and movement or increased restlessness.

Depression can decrease productivity at work, strain connections with loved ones, and cause feelings of isolation. Depression can also interfere with basic self-care, making it hard to maintain a healthy lifestyle, which can further worsen the condition.
