Hi, Dane!

If you want to find out whether you suffering from depression you should look for clues in your body and your mind. I mean its important how you feel physically and mentally. What regards your body, you may feel tired all the time, sick; you may feel pain or headaches; have sleep problems; suffer from loss or change of appetite and weight; but you can also gain weight even if you don’t eat a lot at the time of depression. When it comes to your mental state, you may be very sad, miserable, lack confidence, guilty for somethings or have thoughts about suicide. You may also have no motivation to do something, to go anywhere and you want to be alone all the time, so you don’t have to explain anything to anyone. If you feel that you are going through depression, try to control yourself, cheer up and remember that every cloud has a silver lining.

Good luck!
