Depression Symptoms

As I was put off after 24 1 / 2 last January and I'm not having any luck finding another job. My wife seems to think that I might be suffering from a mild form of depression. Can anyone tell me what symptoms should I be looking for before I call a doctor. Money is tight right now and can not afford to spend money just for a visit without any evidence of depression.

The symptoms differ. Some are apathy, fatigue, inability to concentrate, feeling empty inside, lack of feelings or emotions ...

It seems that the depression of the situation, and for that you need to change your situation. The drugs are probably not the answer (at that time). It is normal to feel depressed when you lose a job you had for many years. After many years, I am sure that the work had begun to define you. And you feel lost without her.

You need to get involved in something, if you feel like it or not. I'm sure you've been looking for another job (but if you've worked so long, you're probably retirement age if you want). The exercise is very useful: it relies Endorphins (chemicals in the brain against depression). It might help you a lot to volunteer until you find the right job. It can help you feel good to help others and be useful. A hobby could make the difference if there is something that you love that you can afford. And of course, eat well and get enough sleep, they are very important for all aspects of your health, including mental health.

Too much sleep, not eating, not wanting to have fun are just some of the symptoms. You can go to your local health department for mental health. Your payment will be based on your income. Do not ignore your feelings, seek help immediately.
Beware!

worrys can cause depression, the best thing to stop, it is difficult to try to find another job

not feeling well (physically), sleep disturbance, crying over minor things, angry, can not handle the new (current) ...

I'm sorry if you feel this way ...

Generally, symptoms of depression are feelings of being easily fatigued, withdrawal from activities that were previously known, the level of low energy, negative thought patterns, feelings of hopelessness. Sometimes these feelings may be accompanied by a feeling of wanting to end it all. If you think you may be depressed, you should check this with a mental health professional. Money may be tight, but it is your health we're talking about and there is only one you.

True major depression is diagnosed with many different aspects in mind. There are many things that still do not know about depression, there are causes or treatment. However, there is a guideline for the diagnosis of someone suffering from major depression. A person suffering from major depression is diagnosed if they have at least 5 of the following symptoms persist for at least 2 weeks without apparent cause:
1. Depressed Mood
2. loss of interest or pleasure
3. significant weight gain or loss (not diet)
4. insomnia or hypersomnia
5. psychomotor agitation (teens esp.)
6. fatigue or loss of energy
7. feelings of worthlessness or guilt unfounded
8. indecisive, unable to think or concentrate
9. recurrent thoughts of death or suicide.

Only a doctor can diagnose major depression, but this list may give you an idea of what exactly happens. Since you mentioned in your question that you just lost your job, this list does not apply to you because you have a known cause of your symptoms. Yo.
