Most people experience sadness or feeling down on occasion.
Yet persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or emptiness can lead to problems in everyday life, including at work, school, activities, or relationships.
For instance, you may fall behind at work or school, feel unmotivated to do things you normally enjoy, or feel less interested in being with friends or family.
You’ve tried just pushing through it, but it’s not helping. Yet, you may not feel comfortable talking to friends and family. You may feel stuck in a cycle where you can’t quite seem to move beyond your feelings or thoughts.
Depression isn’t the same for everyone. You can experience symptoms of depression in different ways.
For instance, some people experience more physical symptoms, like stomach pains, headaches, disrupted or excessive sleep, and motor control difficulty. Others may feel more irritable or angry instead of sad. And unfortunately, depression can lead some people to have thoughts of suicide, self-harm, or death.
Some other common symptoms of depression include:

Diagnosing depression involves a psychiatric evaluation and physical tests to determine whether a person’s symptoms are actually being caused by a different disorder. A person must have been experiencing symptoms for at least two weeks to be diagnosed with depression. Every case is unique and requires individual attention, but there are a number of effective complementary ways of treating depression, including:
