5 SIGNS IT’S DEPRESSION, NOT JUST SADNESS

1. You feel empty
   
   Sadness can certainly be a sign, but once you start experiencing an empty feeling you might be able to tell that it’s depression.
2. You’re way more irritable than usual
   
   Feelings of restlessness or excessive irritability can be signs of depression.
3. You’re getting really thin
   
   If you experience significant weight loss without trying, or without a diet, you could be depressed.
4. You’re thinking about death
   
   If you find yourself focusing on death or suicide, with or without a specific plan, seek help. You may very likely be depressed.
5. You’re having trouble concentrating
   
   Depression can make it harder for you to focus on tasks at hand and can also make it more difficult for you to make decisions.
