Depression

Depression is the feeling of being depressed; it is when feels low spirits, sadness, dejection and melancholy.

Many say that they also feel that they have no energy (even the smallest job seems like a huge task) and they constantly feel tired -- in spite of the fact that they are not working a lot or being very active.

Moreover, they find themselves much less interested in their normal daily activities and they not able to enjoy or take pleasure from their hobbies.

Some say that they cannot concentrate, or find it difficult to make decisions. Some say they feel irritated and tense much of the time for no particular reason.

Often people feeling depressed find their appetite (desire to eat) is lessened.

Their sleep is also affected (for some, it is difficult to sleep; others find they keep waking up up in the very early morning; and others find they sleep too much).

Finally, people suffering depression often feel life is worthless or hopeless, and many entertain thoughts of suicide and death.
