The signs of depression may be hard to catch at first, especially in teens and young people. However, once you have identified them, you will become much more aware for the future, if need be. I know we have all heard the warning signs and we have all read them, again and again. The thing is, you never know when you might need this information. Depression does not have to run in your family, a tragedy does not have to happen for someone to become seriously depressed. If you are concerned for yourself, or someone you care about, take a second look at some of these warning signs:
- Mood swings
- Lack of interest (in anything/everything)
- Isolating
- Needy
- Oversleeping
- Excessive crying
- "I'll do it tomorrow," type attitude
- Lack of cleanliness
- Sad/down in the dumps
These are just a few signs of depression, or clues to watch for. Trust your intuition. Contact a MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL. There is help available for everyone!
