If these four “signs” appear in your body, depression may be silently approaching you, don’t ignore it!
1. Enjoy being alone
Most people with depression do not like to communicate with others; they prefer to isolate themselves in their own world. They may not know what to do exactly but are unwilling to interact with the external world. Most of them tend to become self-deprecating psychologically, feeling that nobody understands them, gradually developing depression.
2. Lack of a sense of security
Before suffering from depression, individuals often lack a sense of security. They frequently worry about unpleasant events or their future, leading to a lack of security, especially a lack of confidence in those around them. They fear mistreatment from their partner or family, possibly a prelude to depression.
3. Sleep disturbances
Individuals with depression often experience severe sleep disturbances; they find it hard to fall asleep now, or easily wake up in the middle of the night and cannot fall back asleep. If this persists for a while, you should pay attention to this situation and promptly consult a psychologist.
4. Loss of appetite
Patients with depression often have a poor appetite and feel physically and mentally exhausted. They may experience headaches, body pains, gastrointestinal discomfort, and decreased physical strength. If you notice these symptoms, seek medical attention promptly to avoid worsening condition.
