It’s perfectly normal to feel sad or lonely at times. These are healthy responses to life’s struggles. However, sometimes the feelings of hopelessness and despair can become overwhelming.
Such feelings may seriously disrupt a person’s ability to function normally, and last for long periods of time (e.g. weeks to months).
In such cases, these symptoms may point towards clinical depression.

A bleak outlook—nothing will ever get better and there’s nothing you can do to improve your situation.
You don’t care anymore about former hobbies, pastimes, social activities, or sex. You’ve lost your ability to feel joy and pleasure.
Significant weight loss or weight gain—a change of more than 5% of body weight in a month.
Either insomnia, especially waking in the early hours of the morning, or oversleeping.
Feeling agitated, restless, or even violent. Your tolerance level is low, your temper short, and everything and everyone gets on your nerves.
Feeling fatigued, sluggish, and physically drained. Your whole body may feel heavy, and even small tasks are exhausting or take longer to complete.
Strong feelings of worthlessness or guilt. You harshly criticise yourself for perceived faults and mistakes.
You engage in escapist behaviour such as substance abuse, compulsive gambling, reckless driving, or dangerous sports.
Trouble focusing, making decisions, or remembering things.
An increase in physical complaints such as headaches, back pain, aching muscles, and stomach pain.
The symptoms of depression differ between person to person and vary with age, gender and background. However, there are some common themes.
If you find that many of the items on the above list of depression symptoms apply to you, this may indicate that you are suffering from depression.
Deciding on how to treat depression depends on its cause – understanding the underlying cause of your depression may help you overcome the problem.
Depression which is caused by personal circumstances can be best treated by changing those circumstances.
For example, if your depression is caused by a toxic work environment, seeking a new workplace or career may be the best treatment. Depression caused by loneliness can be alleviated by going out to social events and meeting new people.
However, experiencing depression may make you feel helpless to take such action. In the meantime, you can take a few simple steps to alleviate some of your symptoms.
