How depression affects our lives
Many suffer needlessly with depression when help is available. The personal toll of depression can be devastating, affecting every aspect of one’s livelihood: family, job, finances, friendships, and spiritual life.
Depression symptoms
You may be experiencing a depressive illness if some of these symptoms describe you:
- Persistent sad, anxious, or “empty” feelings
- Fatigue or decreased energy
- Loss of interest or pleasure in usual activities, including sex
- Appetite and weight change (not due to dieting)
- Feelings of hopelessness or pessimism about the future
- Chronic feelings of guilt, worthlessness, or helplessness
- Thoughts of death, “accidents,” or considering, planning, or making a suicide
- Difficulty concentrating, remembering, or making decisions
- Chronic aches or pains not due to a known physical illness
- Significant change in sleep patterns
