Information about depression
hi i need some information about depression . I visited A doctor and he told me your have depression and gave me some medicine, such as serteralin. I am worry about my situation because i read about depression has signs like suicide or sitting in the house and do nothing but i am already working in university i don't think about suicide or i did not loose my hope . one thing is suffering me is i cant sleep like before. would you please advise me do i have depression or no and what should i do?
Psafapour,Its very good question....
Whatever u read is right...Depression characteristic u read is typical one and if its there then it called Major Depression where suicidal idea,sitting at home,worthless,hopeless feeling present.
But disturbed sleep,restlessness,worry,irritability,altered concentration,altered appetite is sign of mild depression...if it present and disturbing ur routine then u have Depression...As u mentioned only abt. disturbed sleep I dont know of rest so 100 % I cant say yes or no... most of time early signs of depression is disturbed sleep...
If u in doubt pls have another expert opinion or u can ask same Dr. about it so he can explain u in detail...
