Red Flags: Warning Signs of Depression
From Kimberly Read & Marcia Purse, Your Guide to Bipolar Disorder. FREE Newsletter. Sign Up Now! Bipolar Basics by Kimberly Read Depression - that deep, dank hole of living death. It is a place where even on the brightest day, the sun cannot reach its depths. It is such misery that those who have never experienced it simply cannot understand. It is an ever-spiraling maze to be avoided at all costs, for once someone is lost in its twists and turns, the exit is oh, so elusive. Thus we continue the topic of red flags, those early indicators of an impending mood swing. In this article, the second in a four-part series, we look at some of the common red flags of depression, because the earlier an episode is treated, the less its severity. I have attempted to organize these symptoms into broad categories for easier reference. I have gathered this list of symptoms from personal experience as well as other resources. Changes In Activity or Energy Level Decreased Energy Fatigue Lethargy Diminished Activity Insomnia or Hypersomnia Loss of Interest in Pleasurable Activities Social Withdrawal Physical Changes Unexplained Aches and Pains Weight Loss or Gain Decreased or Increased Appetite Psychomotor Agitation or Retardation Emotional Pain Prolonged Sadness Unexplained, Uncontrollable Crying Feelings of Guilt Feelings of Worthlessness Loss of Self-Esteem Despair Hopelessness Helplessness Difficult Moods Irritability Anger Worry/Anxiety Pessimism Indifference Self-Critical Changes in Thought Patterns Inability to Concentrate Indecision Problems with Memory Disorganized Preoccupation with Death Thoughts of Death Suicidal Ideation Feeling Dead or Detached
