Depression Help - Recognizing a Symptom of Depression

Recognizing a Symptom of Depression

Apathy is a symptom of depression characterized by the joyless mental state of routine and disinterest in the areas of your life which you once found exciting, or at least interesting.

In acute depression, you will find that you are able to attend your usual functions, such as going to your kids little league games or even getting up to go to work, but you can't seem to get excited about anything.

You can't explain to your spouse, you just don't feel right. Your appetite may decrease (or increase,) you may begin to drink more often, or find that you can not sleep.
