Symptoms of Depression
The symptoms of depression can vary in intensity but are usually persistent—meaning they may last all day, oftentimes for weeks or months. They include:
- Feelings of sadness or hopelessness
- Loss of interest in most everyday activities, including those you once enjoyed
- Feelings of worthlessness or self-loathing
- Feelings of irritability or angry outbursts, including over small things
- Changes in appetite
- Changes in sleep habits, including insomnia or sleeping too much
- Low energy or fatigue
- Slow movements or slowed speech
- Difficulty focusing or concentrating
- Persistent thoughts of death or suicidal thoughts
Depending on your symptoms and how you’re feeling, your clinician will create a treatment plan designed to help you feel better. In some cases, depression can be treated through virtual visits. In some cases, it’s safer to treat in-person or in a hybrid setting. During your first visit, your medical care provider will listen to what you’re going through and work out the best treatment plan for you.
