How do I recognize if I am showing signs of depression?
assistant
The first step in recognizing if you are showing signs of depression is to pay attention to your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Symptoms of depression can range from feeling sad, hopeless, or unmotivated, to finding it hard to concentrate, sleeping too much or too little, and withdrawing from social activities. It can also be indicated by physical symptoms such as headaches, digestive issues, or chronic fatigue. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is important to talk to a doctor or mental health professional to discuss options for treatment.
