At some points in our life we all feel down – sometimes this can be described as ‘feeling blue’ or ‘down in the dumps’
​
Low moods generally pass after a short period of time and small changes in our lives can help such as getting a good night’s sleep, talking about the problem, or resolving a situation.
​
If a low mood persists for more than two weeks then it could be viewed as a sign of depression. Depression is normally a long term condition and can be brought on through various events in our life and our perception of those events.
Some symptoms of depression can be:
-
Feeling lethargic – can’t be bothered to do anything
-
Not being able to concentrate on everyday things like reading the paper or watching television
-
Not socialising or wanting to be around people
-
Not enjoying anything anymore
-
Comfort eating or losing your appetite
-
Finding work difficult
-
A feeling of hopelessness
-
Sleeping more than usual or being unable to sleep
-
Neglecting hobbies and interests
-
Continuous tiredness or lacking in energy
-
Having suicidal thoughts or thoughts about harming yourself -
