Depression often develops gradually, and recognizing early signs can help you or your loved ones seek help sooner.
1. Persistent Sadness or Hopelessness
Feeling down for weeks, not just days, may indicate depression.
2. Loss of Interest in Hobbies
Activities that used to bring joy now feel meaningless or uninteresting.
3. Changes in Sleep and Appetite
Significant shifts in sleeping patterns or eating habits may signal depression.
4. Difficulty Concentrating
Depression can affect memory, focus, and decision-making abilities.
