Clinical depression is the more-severe form of depression,
also known as major depression or major depressive disorder. It isn't the same
as depression caused by a loss, such as the death of a loved one, or a medical
condition, such as a thyroid disorder. A constant sense of hopelessness and despair is a sign you
may have major depression, also known as clinical depression. Depression ranges in seriousness from mild,
temporary episodes of sadness to severe, persistent depression. Clinical depression is marked by
a depressed mood most of the day, sometimes particularly in the morning, and a
loss of interest in normal activities and relationships -- symptoms that are present every day for at least 2
weeks.
Those symptoms might
include:
- Fatigue or
loss of energy almost every day
- Feelings of worthlessness or guilt almost every day
- Impaired concentration, indecisiveness
- Insomnia or
hypersomnia (excessive sleeping) almost every day
- Markedly diminished interest or pleasure in almost all activities
nearly every day (called anhedonia, this symptom can be indicated by
reports from significant others)
- Restlessness or feeling slowed down
- Recurring thoughts of death or suicide
- Significant weight
loss or gain (a change of more than 5% of body
weight in a month)
- Anxiety,
agitation or restlessness
- Slowed
thinking, speaking or body movements
- Feelings
of worthlessness or guilt, fixating on past failures or self-blame
- Trouble
thinking, concentrating, making decisions and remembering things
- Frequent
or recurrent thoughts of death, suicidal thoughts, suicide attempts or
suicide
- Unexplained physical problems, such as back pain or headaches
