How can I tell if I’m depressed?
assistant
There are several signs that might help you tell if you are depressed. These include feeling low, lack of motivation, difficulty sleeping, changes in appetite, irritability and restlessness, feeling overwhelmed, and difficulty concentrating. It's also important to pay attention to how long these symptoms last, as some conditions may require more than just one symptom to determine if it is depression. If you have persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and low self-worth that linger for more than two weeks, you may be depressed and should seek professional help.
