What Are The Symptoms Of Depression?

I don t know if I am depressed or not, I m not religious and I feel like there is no point in really trying hard in school or stressing about it because we all die anyway so whats the point? I m tired basically all the time but I might just be a tired person so I don t know... I also feel like there isn t much to look forward to in life because you just work and work all your life until you finally retire and die. space is huge and on the large scale a human life is just a blip and was all so I don t know... dispensible? I don t know if I m just cynical or depressed

Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
     
Depression can affect anyone and you can overcome it completely. This is a phase and it will go. Depression symptoms include feeling low all the time, loss of interest in the previous pleasurable activity, feeling lonely, low in energy, hopeless, helpless, worthless feeling and sometimes even suicidal ideas. Few of them or all can be present at a time. Consult a nearby psychiatric clinic. Make sure you are not alone trying to be with someone close to you, share your thoughts, sleep for an adequate time, have healthy meals on time, involved in activities you used to enjoy earlier.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
