What are the most common symptoms of depression?

According to the Mayo Clinic, the most common symptoms of a major depressive disorder include:

  • Feelings of sadness, tearfulness, emptiness, or hopelessness
  • Angry outbursts, irritability, or frustration, even over small matters
  • Loss of interest or pleasure in most or all normal activities, such as sex, hobbies, or sports
  • Sleep disturbances, including insomnia or sleeping too much
  • Tiredness and lack of energy, so even small tasks take extra effort
  • Reduced appetite and weight loss or increased cravings for food and weight gain
  • Anxiety, agitation, or restlessness
  • Slowed thinking, speaking or body movements
  • Feelings of worthlessness or guilt, fixating on past failures or self-blame
  • Trouble thinking, concentrating, making decisions, and remembering things
  • Frequent or recurrent thoughts of death, suicidal thoughts, suicide attempts or suicide

Unexplained physical problems, such as back pain or headaches

About 17 million American adults have a major depressive disorder, according to the National Institute of Mental Health. This is often co-occurring with other mental or physical health conditions. Someone with depression has about a 20% increased risk of suicide throughout their lifetime.

Sadly, almost two-thirds of people with depression do not seek treatment, but 80% of those who do seek it see improvement within 4-6 weeks of beginning treatment (whether medication, psychotherapy, or a combination of the two).

At Pasadena Christian Counseling, you can talk with your counselor about your situation, symptoms, and goals for treatment. Using an individualized approach, your counselor will offer resources and techniques integrating a biblical worldview and evidence-based psychotherapy, working with your physician when indicated.

Whether medication is required depends on your situation, overall health, and the presence of any co-occurring conditions. Your counselor can help you make a treatment plan that is right for you. Contact Pasadena Christian Counseling today to schedule your risk-free initial session.
