What are signs of depression?
Most times we hear people say they are depressed, probably because they have had several sad times. How can we tell if one is truly depressed? Does it defer in men and women? Can we be depressed and not know about it?
@silverMoment23 Both men and women can be depressed. Unfortunately, there are a lot of people who don't actually know they have depression. If you are feeling depressed, you will feel empty and unmotivated. You will not want to participate in particular activities, even if they are some of your favourites. People with depression may also experience difficultly getting to sleep, concentrating or may even loose their appetite, however this may not apply for everyone.
Depression like any illness have symptoms some of them
Change in sleeping processe ( sleepless or more ) lack in energy, feeling tired, sadness , guilt , poor appetite, problems in constriting...ex

Depression affects people in different ways hence people do not tend to realize. Perhaps because its taboo and disliked, people overlook the idea of having depression to fit in. However, its signs can include feeling demotivated, sleeping all the time, eating alone, not interested in stuff that you were previously interested in and having mood swings.
