Depression symptoms refer to the various emotional, cognitive, and physical manifestations of depression, a common mental health disorder characterized by feelings of sadness, despair, and hopelessness. These symptoms can vary in severity and duration, but may include persistent feelings of sadness or emptiness, loss of interest or pleasure in activities, changes in appetite and sleep patterns, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, feelings of guilt or worthlessness, and thoughts of self-harm or suicide. It is important to seek help from a mental health professional if experiencing these symptoms as they can significantly impact an individual's daily functioning and overall well-being.
