Depression Symptoms Visible

  Depression Symptoms Visible

And they provide a rather clear signal that a person is sick with the flu. What about mental illness? Are the symptoms of depression visible? Here are some scenarios showing symptoms that seem invisible but are a manifestation of a mental illness, in this case, major depression (as well as bipolar depression).
And they provide a rather clear signal that a person is sick with the flu. What about mental illness? Are the symptoms of depression visible? Here are some scenarios showing symptoms that seem invisible but are a manifestation of a mental illness, in this case, major depression (as well as bipolar depression).

The first scenario is that I am in "hibernate" mode. You can't wake up and sleep long past noon. Barely awake for lunch, I missed it many times. He takes an afternoon nap after being up for one to two hours for brunch. This pattern is permanent and it is fair to judge that I am a lazy person. I could also easily justify that 'I'm always tired'.

The second scenario is about feelings of helplessness and/or hopelessness that can be overwhelming and overwhelming.  we won't get our contract renewed." Many people, including me, would say that I lack persistence and determination to find solutions, I lack positivity, and I have a weak character. It's just easy to judge my performance and conclude that I'm helplessly useless.

The third context is when unrest occurs. "What should I do?" “I can't sit, I'd better pack my bag, maybe I should clear the dining table. Frustrated by my inability to get things done, I am irritated by my family's general comments. When the tolerance level drops, irritation escalates into anger or rage, unfortunately, directed at my family, those closest to my heart. So what do I make of this: an irritable day? Or it could be dismissed as another bad day, then no big deal.

These seemingly harmless feelings and behaviors, what is it when I experience them for a week, two weeks, or three? Should I brush it off and/or accept that it's just me - I'm lazy, I'm weak-willed, I have a bad temper.

I am in an age where the diagnosis of mental illness is mostly based on self-reported symptoms. I am lucky enough that my sibling showed me a newspaper clipping about depression and its symptoms 30 years ago. Loaded with information about depression, albeit reluctantly, I visited my first psychiatrist in my teenage years.

Depressed Mind

   Depressed Mind It is a constant gnawing and confusion that is hard to explain. Something has started to eat me from the inside and I can't put my finger on it. What is this weight in my head? That's not a headache. I must be sick. Is it a fever coming on? No it is not. I know it will stay with me for a while. I'm afraid? I try to acknowledge its existence. I have been told that understanding itself is medicine. All around it is a descending and lingering gloom. It's like everything around turns gray and black. There is no other color. No additional color is needed. Why do I always feel like crying? There is no obvious reason to cry! However, it is so. The tears have to come out. Suddenly tiredness overcomes. Every ounce of energy is depleted. My limbs are weak and I urgently need sleep. I sleep like there is no tomorrow, with no desire to wake up because there is no longer any desire to see the world. My bed became my Savior. What happened to the hobbies and activiti...
