October is Depression Education and Awareness Month
Not everyone who is depressed or manic experiences every symptom. Some people experience a few symptoms, and some experience many. The severity of the symptoms varies with individuals and also varies over time. Don't think that because you don't exhibit ALL symptoms that you shouldn't seek treatment.
Symptoms and signs of depression include:
A persistent sad, anxious or "empty" mood
Restlessness and irritability
Feelings of hopelessness and pessimism
Feelings of guilt, worthlessness and helplessness
A loss of interest or pleasure gained from hobbies and activities once found enjoyable
Fatigue and decreased energy
