We all face difficult trials and situations which often lead to stress, anxiety and finally Depression. Depression covers a very broad spectrum of symptoms that differ in severity, frequency, duration and origin. The signs of depression are based on feelings, thinking, behaviour and physical illness. A depressive state and the severity of depression are dependent on three main contributing factors: Biological Causes, Psychological Causes and social-environmental influences.
Signs one should be aware of:
- Unhappiness
- Feeling of inefficiency
- Physical illness
- Decrease of sexual interests
- Low self-esteem
- Insomnia
- Lack of appetite
- Feeling of isolation
- Wanting to be isolated from social activity
- Feeling of hopelessness
- Being extremely emotional
- a lack of willpower,
- no or lack of interest in partaking in day-to-day activities
