Signs of depression
Symptoms of depression.
“In general, depression leads people to lose interest in other people and life, closing off and remaining uninvolved, according to psychotherapist Karen Khaleghi. Specifically, depressed people may:
o not return phone calls, or only speak very briefly
o stop combing hair, dressing neatly or caring about appearance
o cut class, stop doing homework or drop out of school
o stop talking to friends
o sleep all the time, or never sleep
o eat too much or too little
o use drugs or alcohol
o have emotional outbursts
o feel sick
o feel hopeless or despairing, or think about suicide”
