Depression is more than just feeling down or having a bad day. When a sad mood lasts for a long time and interferes with normal, everyday functioning, you may be depressed. Symptoms of depression include:

• Feeling sad or anxious often or all the time

• Not wanting to do activities that used to be fun

• Feeling irritable‚ easily frustrated‚ or restless

• Having trouble falling asleep or staying asleep

• Waking up too early or sleeping too much

• Eating more or less than usual or having no appetite

• Experiencing aches, pains, headaches, or stomach problems that do not improve with treatment

• Having trouble concentrating, remembering details, or making decisions

• Feeling tired‚ even after sleeping well

• Feeling guilty, worthless, or helpless

• Thinking about suicide or hurting yourself

Anxiety feels like a persistent, unpleasant state of inner turmoil, often accompanied by physical symptoms and a sense of dread or unease about future events. It can manifest as physical sensations like a rapid heartbeat, sweating, and trembling, as well as mental distress like difficulty concentrating and feeling restless. People experiencing anxiety may also feel a sense of panic, impending danger, or a feeling of being on edge.
