Signs of Depression

Depression can affect people in many different ways. It’s not always about feeling sad — it can show up emotionally, physically, and in how you relate to yourself and others.

You might notice experiences such as:

• feeling low, tearful, or emotionally flat

• a sense of emptiness or disconnection

• persistent self-criticism or feelings of worthlessness

• low confidence or a loss of self-esteem

• withdrawing from others or feeling isolated

• difficulty finding pleasure in things that once mattered

• irritability, frustration, or feeling easily overwhelmed

Depression can also be felt in the body and in daily life, for example:

• constant fatigue or low energy

• changes in sleep or appetite

• difficulty concentrating or making decisions

• reduced motivation or feeling slowed down

• unexplained aches, pains, or physical discomfort

For some people, depression can bring feelings of hopelessness or a sense of being stuck. These experiences can feel frightening and lonely, but they are more common than many people realise.
