A lot of people confuse the terms suffering from depression and feeling depressed. It’s completely normal to feel down from time to time, but just because you’re experiencing sadness or hopelessness at the moment doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re suffering from depression. Having depression means that these feelings of hopelessness and sadness won’t go away easily. In fact, they may never go if you don’t start seeking treatment. Since a lot of people still don’t know how to identify whether they are suffering from depression or not, here are 17 signs that will show you if you should start seeking help.
You Don’t Enjoy the Things You Used To – If you’ve noticed that you don’t get any pleasure from the activities that you used to enjoy, then it might be time that you seek help. It’s not a big deal if a hobby of yours becomes temporarily boring, but if you have absolutely no interest in any activity that you used to love, then there’s a good chance that you may be suffering from depression. Not having interest in doing anything productive or fun will only make you more depressed, which is why you should get help immediately.
