There is no set definition of depression, nor is there a universal sign or symptom that always accurately diagnoses such a prevalent disease, as depression symptoms can vary in length and intensity based on an individual's age and personality. However, there are a number of common signs or symptoms that point to a possible diagnosis for depression.
Mood symptoms include having a depressed mood for an extended period of time, sadness, loss of joy from activities that were previously enjoyable, a sense of worthlessness, feelings of guilt, and loss of sexual desire. |
