Depression is a mental health disorder in which a person is plagued by constant depressed moods and a general disinterest in activities which prevents people from operating optimally and can even lead to people committing suicide. It's more of a long term illness.</p><p>Being depressed on the other hand basically refers to being moody over something. It's a short term thing and probably doesn't last for more than a few hours. Being constantly depressed is a symptom of depression.</p><p>I take it that you're referring to how a person would know if someone was suffering from depression well, here's a list of things to look out for;</p><p>1. They're generally always unhappy, no matter what happens, they're just unhappy. Good news and bad news are basically the same to them, it neither makes them happy or sad.</p><p>2. They're usually not interested in anything social and mostly stay by themselves. Introversion can become a thing for them and they'll always want to just be alone.</p><p>3. They themselves don't really even know why they're depressed or moody. When asked why they're depressed, they often don't know what's causing them to feel the way they feel.</p><p>4. Unintentional weight loss, which doesn't stem from dieting as well as a loss of appetite. People suffering from depression usually lose alot of weight because the depression often causes them to lose their appetites.</p><p>5. They probably sleep too much or have problems sleeping at all, it could swing both ways depending on the person.</p><p>6. They're always tired. They never seem to be doing anything but staring into space but they always seem to be very tired.</p><p>7. Thoughts of suicide: They will probably stir up conversations of how best to commit suicide and the thoughts of doing this may consume them.</p><p>8. Can't concentrate: They simply can't think straight, the depression impairs their thought process and drastically reduces their productivity and creativity.</p><p>People suffering from depression should be watched carefully because alot of people who suffer from this illness end up killing themselves if they're neglected. If any of your friends are showing any of these symptoms them please reach out to them before it's too late.</p>","appDepth":2,"appParentPermlink":"p3ubxzhdx","appParentAuthor":"ostupid","musingAppId":"aU2p3C3a8N","musingAppVersion":"1.1","musingPostType":"answer"}" |
