one of the following two elements must be present for a period of at least two weeks:
Depressed mood, or
Anhedonia
It is sufficient to have either of these symptoms in conjunction with five of a list of other symptoms over a two-week period. These include:
Feelings of overwhelming sadness and/or fear, or the seeming inability to feel emotion (emptiness).
A decrease in the amount of interest or pleasure in all, or almost all, daily activities.
Changing appetite and marked weight gain or loss.
Disturbed sleep patterns, such as insomnia, loss of REM sleep, or excessive sleep (hypersomnia).
Psychomotor agitation or retardation nearly every day.
Fatigue, mental or physical, also loss of energy.
Intense feelings of guilt, nervousness, helplessness, hopelessness, worthlessness, isolation/loneliness and/or anxiety.
Trouble concentrating, keeping focus or making decisions or a generalized slowing and obtunding of cognition, including memory.
Recurrent thoughts of death (not just fear of dying), desire to just "lie down and die" or "stop breathing", recurrent suicidal ideation without a specific plan, or a suicide attempt or a specific plan for committing suicide.
Feeling and/or fear of being abandoned by those close to one.
Self-loathing.
A decrease in self-esteem.
Inattention to personal hygiene.
Sensitivity to noise.
Physical aches and pains, and the belief these may be signs of serious illness.
Fear of ‘going mad’.
Change in perception of time.
Periods of sobbing.
Possible behavioral changes, such as aggression and/or irritability.
A feeling that something bad is going to happen soon.
Avoiding social situations or being late often.
Feeling that you will never get better.
Excessive procrastination (Saying What’s the point?)

i take medication for depression and i can tell you a couple of things that happened to me. i just wanted to die. i felt like everything that i did in the past was a mistake and that everything i was doing was useless and there was no hope. I slept and cried all of the time – ALL of the time. I never got anything done. My house was a mess. I didn’t walk my puppy. Looking back, medicine was the best thing that could have happened to me and my family.

Signs of Clinical Depression
* Concentration is often impaired
* Inability to experience pleasure
* Increase in self-critical thoughts with a voice in the back of one’s mind providing a constant barrage of harsh, negative statements
* Sleep disturbance or unable to fall back to sleep
* Feeling fatigued after 12 hours of sleep
* Decrease in appetite or food loses its taste
* Feelings of guilt, helplessness and/or hopelessness
* Thoughts of suicide
* Increased isolation
* Missing deadlines or a drop in standards
* Change in personality
* Increased sexual promiscuity
* Increased alcohol/drug use
If someone experiences most of the above symptoms for more than two weeks, there is a good chance they are suffering from a clinical depression.
I LOOKED THIS UP FOR YOU. HOPE IT HELPS. IF YOU’RE DEPRESSED…YOU PROBABLY DIDN’T FEEL LIKE RESEARCHING IT.
