Symptoms Of Depression

Symptoms of depression can be different for everyone.  There is no one “set of symptoms” that can be used to diagnosis depression.  If you experience a few of these symptoms for more than two weeks or if any of them are interfering you’re your work, family and friend relationships or interfering with you living a good life you should see a doctor for an evaluation.
