However, there are common indicators that signal you might be suffering from a form of depression:

  • You don’t want to get out of bed
  • You don’t want to go anywhere or do anything
  • You no longer enjoy the activities you once loved
  • You have trouble concentrating
  • You are exhausted much of the time
  • Your sleep habits change

How Can Depression Therapy Help Me?
