my behaviors!
it depends on why you are depressed. for example i’m depressed because i’m not in my own country.I feel cry with every song that i hear(that i heard in my hometown too) every one annoys me i feel cry again(i wasn’t in this way at all)
i kid and joke less than before(i was very jokey before) i like to sleep all the time, i’m very reserved now,i don’t participate in parties,,,
i had a friend in my hometown, she was depressed too,and she went to doctor he admitted too(that she is depressed) and her signs were like me. she missed his father.

It depends – I usually realize I’ve been depressed when I start to feel better
For me it’s a lack of energy and the desire to isolate myself emotionally. When I have enough energy to do something more than read a book or wash my hair, I realize that I haven’t been feeling myself and that’s when I start to feel better.I was diagnosed with low level depression as a result of emotional trauma when I was younger.
I would say if you just can’t feel happy – kind of like you are happy, but you can’t feel it because that part of you is numb, then you’re probably depressed.
As far as duration goes, that depends as well – I get depressed the same time every year, so I can see it coming. For some people it’s a one off and a matter of circumstance. Others, it’s something they live with their whole life. It depends on the root cause.

There are several tell-tale signs of depression. First, the physical signs: fatigue, sleep disturbance (either sleeping too much or too little), change in appetite (either eating more or less than usual), and tension in the body. There are also mood changes: irritability, disinterest in things you would normally enjoy, disinterest in friends/family (i.e. less sociable than usual), feelings of helplessness, hopelessness, and worthlessness, poor self-esteem, lack of motivation. Other signs include poor hygiene or an unkempt appearance. In order to be diagnosed with a depressive episode, these symptoms must have gone on for at least six weeks. If you think you are depressed, you should definitely see a mental health professional. This is especially important if you ever feel like harming yourself.

There are lots of signs of depression. Depressed people may be preoccupied with, or ruminate over, thoughts and feelings of worthlessness, inappropriate guilt or regret, helplessness, hopelessness, and self hatred. Other symptoms include poor concentration and memory, withdrawal from social situations and activities, reduced sex drive, and thoughts of death or suicide. Insomnia is common: in the typical pattern, a person wakes very early and is unable to get back to sleep.
The most common cause of depression is the stress. In order to minimize stress, try to take meditation. This can help your to relax your mind.
