Signs of Depression

What to look for:

Hopeless outlook: making comments such as, "The world would be a better place without me", or, "I just don't care about classes or my grades anymore".
Loss of Interest: missing classes, not completing assignments, calling in sick to work, not hanging out with friends.
Feeling sad or empty.
Increased fatigue or lack of sleep.
More feelings of anxiety.
Uncontrollable feelings or irritability.
Changes in appetite: losing weight or gaining weight.
Talking about death, suicide or self-harm.
Lack of proper hygiene: not bathing, not brushing hair/teeth.

Not all crisis situations are suicide or harm related. Some are mental breaks, or it may be a person in a psychotic episode.

If you, or someone you know, is experiencing depression, there is help.

As always, call 911 if it is an emergency!
