Symptoms of Depression
Depression can show up in many ways and affect each person differently. Common symptoms may include:
- Persistent sadness or feelings of emptiness
- Hopelessness, guilt, or worthlessness
- Frequent tearfulness
- Irritability or sudden anger
- Loss of interest in daily activities or hobbies
- Reduced sexual desire
- Changes in appetite or weight
- Difficulty sleeping or sleeping too much
- Trouble concentrating or making decisions
- Restlessness or agitation
- Low energy or fatigue
- Thoughts of death or suicide
If left untreated, depression can also contribute to problems such as substance use, social isolation, or difficulty at work or school. At C&E Psychiatry Services, our clinicians provide individualized, evidence-based treatment plans to support both your mental health and your overall quality of life.
Causes of Depression
Depression is linked to changes in brain chemistry and the areas of the brain that regulate mood. Hormonal shifts can also play a role. Several factors can increase your risk, including:
- A family history of depression or other mental health conditions
- A personal history of trauma or difficult life experiences
- Certain personality traits, such as chronic pessimism or low self-esteem
- Ongoing medical conditions like cancer or chronic pain
- Major loss, stress, or life transitions
These influences can interact in complex ways, often making depression a result of both biological and environmental factors.
