Do you ever ask yourself, “Am I depressed?” You probably should from time to time. Here’s why…
Many people suffer from depression, but only a relative few realise this at the time. There are justifiable reasons for this.
You’re busy focusing on jobs, money, house work, shopping, children, and all of life’s challenges. Mental well being is often pushed into the background.
However the effects of depression can be devastating.
Depression impairs sleep and causes break downs in relationships. It increases the chance of risky behaviours such as drugs and alcohol addiction. Depression can lead to self harming and even suicide.
Depression can drastically impair your quality of life. So it should be taken seriously. That’s why you should ask yourself every now and then “Am I depressed?”.
Once you’ve identified that you’re depressed, then you can start doing something about it. This could be lifestyle changes or medication. Always seek medical opinion if you suspect you’re depressed.
