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.

Signs one should be aware of:
- Unhappiness

- Insomnia
- Lack of appetite
- Feeling of isolation
- Wanting to be isolated from social activity
- Feeling of hopelessness
