Depression is more than just feeling sad and having a low mood. It is so much more than having a bad day, or being affected by dark, damp and cold weather.
Clinical depression is prolonged and can last for weeks or months, having a debilitating impact on daily life.
Symptoms include:
Feeling unhappy and hopeless
Not gaining pleasure from things that used to bring you joy
Feeling tired all the time
Low self esteem
Lacking energy and enthusiasm
Not wanting to get out of bed and face the day
Anxiety (sometimes coupled with depression)
