There are no easy two words in the world of adults, everyone’s life has some unpleasantness and troubles. Sometimes when encountered with these very uncomfortable things, everyone’s choices are different. Some may struggle hard to get through, while others may gradually sink into depression and low mood. Many times, not only friends and family may not realize their own tendency towards depression, they may not even be aware that they have depression.
Poor responsiveness and slow thinking
There is actually a significant relationship between slow thinking and depression. When depression appears and develops, many patients with depression often experience slow thinking. They often can’t come up with answers to a problem even after thinking about it repeatedly. Their brain’s responsiveness is also slower, making it difficult for them to snap out of it. Many patients also experience a decrease in language, speaking slowly. When chatting with others, answering normal questions often takes a long time, and in severe cases, they may have difficulty communicating.
Always feeling mentally exhausted
The exhaustion mentioned here is not physical tiredness after a busy day or the mental fatigue that comes with aging. It is because of often experiencing negative emotions, feeling tired from the depths of the heart. Even though not much physical activity is involved, they feel tired, lose interest in everything, find everything boring, lose interest in things they used to enjoy, just want to rest well, and experience excessive sleepiness. This is also a manifestation of a tendency towards depression.
Often experiencing sudden mood drops
The sudden drop in mood is the most obvious sign. It will make you often trapped in negative emotions, feeling depressed and having a pessimistic view of things, frequently feeling gloomy, unable to get excited even about interesting things, often self-denying, believing they have no future, and always having negative thoughts. In severe cases, delusions and hallucinations may exist.
The quality of sleep starts to deteriorate significantly
Most depression patients experience insomnia, easy awakening, and a decrease in sleep quality. If you occasionally experience insomnia once or twice in the short term, it may be due to high stress or other reasons. But if you find yourself often having insomnia in the short term, even if you manage to fall asleep but have many dreams, wake up easily, and experience serious sleep problems, you should pay more attention because it can be serious.
Depression is a very common problem, but it is also very serious, so do not take it lightly. Therefore, everyone should show more understanding and comfort to those who have a tendency towards depression.
