Depression symptoms can vary greatly because different people experience depression in different ways. A 25-year-old man with depression may not have the same symptoms as a 70-year-old man, for instance. For some people, depression symptoms are so severe that it's obvious something isn't right. Others may feel generally miserable or unhappy without really knowing why.

For me it has to be the complete lack of self-esteem for many yrs. followed by a severe inability to fall asleep. When I would sleep I would have constant nightmares where I 'm fighting different people that have hurt me during my life. I'm a person that stuffs everything to keep from hurting peoples feelings at a cost to myself. I hate doctors, but I've just got to the point where I had to go after my last bout of nightmares. I have been taking Trazodone (Desyrel) 100 mg. at night 2 hrs before bedtime. I have gotten the best sleep that I've ever had in 7yrs. Withdrawen from people, women included, please visit your doctor, he can help, good luck :) By the way this drug is for both depression & anxiety.

Problems with sleep (either you're sleeping all the time or you can't sleep very well); change in eating habits causing drastic weight loss or gain; loss of interest or pleasure in activities that were once fun; lack of sexual desire; persistent sad, anxious or empty moods; general pessimism; take responsibility for things you have no control over, feeling guilty; feeling helpless or hopeless; worthlessness; irritable; lack of concentration; poor memory; trouble making decisions; decreased energy, major fatigue; headaches and digestive problems; suicidal thoughts and thoughts of hurting yourself; withdrawal from family and friends.
