Well, seems like it's more common than I thought.


Just thought I'd post a bit about it because I know people who have been depressed.


Being clinically depressed is different than just being generally unhappy. Everyone has their downtimes every so often. Why else would we have a moan section, eh?

If someone is Depressed they tend to have at least 2 of the first 3 plus at least 2 more after that, for more than two weeks.

  • Depressed mood
  • Loss of interest and enjoyment
  • Increased fatiguability
  • Reduced concentration and attention
  • Reduced self-esteem and self-confidence
  • Ideas of guilt and unworthiness (even in a mild type of episode)
  • Bleak and pessimistic views of the future
  • Ideas or acts of self-harm or suicide
  • Disturbed sleep
  • Diminished appetite

I know this is a pretty unahppy topic that one doesn't exactly want to think about but if you're worried about someone, it's good to know. I feel like a real downer sharing this...


An important thing to remember is that you can't help someone unless they want to be helped. You can't force someone to talk. *sigh*
