What Is It Like to Be Depressed? Common Depression Symptoms

Depression is known for its undying despair. Those who enter a depressed state also experience a loss of interest in day to day activities, from going to work to talking to loved ones. Aside from these two staples, depression can vary greatly from one individual to the next. That said, here are common symptoms, of which victims of depression are likely to experience:

  1. Feelings of hopelessness: Common among people with depression are feelings of hopelessness. This pairs dangerously well with one’s loss or lack of interest in life.
  2. Sleep disturbances: It is also common for people with depression to experience sleep disturbances, such as insomnia and hypersomnia.
  3. Fatigue: Additionally, one might feel fatigued or depleted of all energy—even those who aren’t struggling to sleep at night. A depressed individual can sleep for 12 hours and still feel exhausted.
  4. Irritability: Also common among those with depression is irritability. The depressed individual might feel irritable or encounter mood swings on a daily basis.
  5. Lack of concentration: It’s also often difficult for people with depression to focus on anything outside of their depressive thoughts. This makes keeping a job difficult.

These are just a few symptoms of depression. One might also experience restlessness, weight gain or loss, changes in appetite, apathy, anxiety and agitation. The specifics often make a difference when it comes to receiving help for depression. All of the symptoms we have so far mentioned are harmful and need to be managed properly, in order to keep one’s health and happiness intact.

This is one of their many important jobs, in guiding you and supporting you during this tough time in your life. They’ll want to know exactly how you’re feeling and what you’re experiencing so that they can design a treatment plan that will support your managing and healing from depression.

For the past year my mental, emotional and physical health has been restored. By God's providence, I connected with a psychiatric nurse practitioner at your agency. She skillfully assessed my situation and quickly prescribed much needed medication. I was at an all time low. Because of her expertise, compassion, and support, my life was renewed. So incredibly grateful to have my life back again.

It was very difficult getting my account up. I believe that happens because when we initially signed up i made the account but it’s under my spouse insurance. After fixing the problem my not his account reflects our current therapy sessions. We get emails and text but when we sign into the thrivework accounts we can’t see the billing cycle to pay or see out upcoming session. Neither one of our accounts display update and current account information. And we have called a few times to get it right and it’s not working . My therapist and agency is splendid
