  1. Difficulty focusing
  2. Inability to make decisions.
  3. Surges in energy followed by severe fatigue
  4. Hyper or slowed psychomotor activity (for example, slurred speech or rapid toe tapping).
  5. Either excessive sleeping or difficulty sleeping.
  6. Feelings of guilt, shame, and worthlessness.
  7. Significant increases or decreases in appetite or weight
