How do yuo know you have depression?

Question

What are the symptoms of deppression!please I need to know

Answer 1

When you lose interest in normal daily activities. I lost the will to live & stayed cooped up in my apt. in the dark, didn't even want to get out of bed, but then I also had a hard time sleeping. I drank a lot & didn't want to be around people. Even though I didn't leave my apt. I didn't even want to get up & shower, get dressed to go check my mail, throw out the garbage. I would ask neighbors to go get me more alcohol & I continued to drink until eventually I had to be rushed off to the emergency room with heart, liver & kidney failure. I was told I had six months to live & lived in a nursing home for 3 months. It is over a year later & I am still alive, but I am still cooped up in my apt. minus the drinking. My situation was extreme, but it is just an example of how depression can get out of hand. Seek help immediately! There are psychologists you can talk to & psychiatrists who can prescribe medication. Please don't let your life turn out to be as depressing as mine:(
