Common Signs of Depression

We all feel sad, moody, or low sometimes; it’s a normal part of life. If these feelings come and stay for more than 2 weeks, it might be a sign that you have depression. Depression affects over 40% of Coloradoans. It's a serious condition that affects your physical and mental health. It’s important to know that it is treatable, and it’s worth talking to someone about it.

When to seek support for depression

Depression affects how you feel about yourself. It can make life more difficult to manage from day to day. You might lose interest in things you usually enjoy.

You may lack energy, have trouble sleeping, or sleep more than usual. Some people feel irritable, and some find it hard to concentrate.

What does depression feel like?

Everyone experiences depression differently. However, different types of depression have particular symptoms. They may also appear at different times. For example, postpartum depression appears during childbirth, while seasonal affective disorder appears during winter (for most) and summer (for some).

Some are talked about more often than others. You might have heard of clinical depression and bipolar. Types such as cyclothymic disorder and dysthymic disorder aren’t mentioned as frequently.

Sometimes, we use different names for the same type of depression. For example, clinical depression is also called major depressive disorder.
