How exactly do I know if I am suffering from Depression? What are some symptoms?

by Symptom Advice on December 18, 2010

I usually feel more depressed than most people but I dont feel depressed everyday either.
If I have low self esteem, or if I feel worthless are these some common symptoms of depression?
I also recently started losing my appetite

* continuous low mood or sadness
* feelings of hopelessness and helplessness
* low self-esteem
* tearfulness
* feelings of guilt
* feeling irritable and intolerant of others
* lack of motivation and little interest in things
* difficulty making decisions
* lack of enjoyment
* suicidal thoughts or thoughts of harming yourself
* feeling anxious or worried
* reduced sex drive

Those are the main psychological symptoms of depression, people can quite often get physical symptoms as well such as aches and pains and reduced energy

feeling down, sad, like things are not worth doing
loss in usual activities
difficulty sleeping or sleeping too much
increased or decreased appetite
trouble feeling positive about things
These are a few criteria. Hope it helps!
