Characteristics of depression

1. Judging from the symptoms of depression, there are no causes.

Normal people’s emotions are caused by certain objective things. However, there is no reason for the depression of patients with depression, and there is no objective stress condition. Or even if there is, it is not understood by most people, which is what we often call "making a mountain out of a molehill."

2. From a time perspective, depression is generally short-term and can be alleviated through self-regulation. However, the symptoms of depression persist, and some are difficult to relieve without treatment, or even gradually worsen. Symptoms of depression often last for more than two weeks, a month or even several months.

3. Judging from the severity of depression, depression often affects the patient's life, work and study. More seriously, it may lead to passive suicidal behavior.

4. Judging from the manifestations of depression, depression is often accompanied by obvious physical symptoms and psychotic symptoms. Such as insomnia, weight loss, loss of appetite, loss of sexual desire, and always feeling uncomfortable all over the body, but there is no problem in going to the hospital for examination. It’s really worrying! And these are common signs of depression.
