What are some signs of depression and how do you know if you're depressed or just sad?

Symptoms of depression include:
* Loss of interest in normal daily activities
* Feeling sad or down
* Feeling hopeless
* Crying spells for no apparent reason
* Problems sleeping
* Trouble focusing or concentrating
* Difficulty making decisions
* Unintentional weight gain or loss
* Irritability
* Restlessness
* Being easily annoyed
* Feeling fatigued or weak
* Feeling worthless
* Loss of interest in sex
* Thoughts of suicide or suicidal behavior
* Unexplained physical problems, such as back pain or headaches

Depression symptoms can vary greatly because different people experience depression in different ways. A 25-year-old man with depression may not have the same symptoms as a 70-year-old man, for instance. For some people, depression symptoms are so severe that it's obvious something isn't right. Others may feel generally miserable or unhappy without really knowing why.

sad is having a bad day and the next day is a new start
depressed is having a bad day and nothing makes it better even a few days after

depresion and sadness are closely related...
the sings depend on the situation...
but to make you feel better, always know that people somewhere in the world are passing through way more hard times than you, see the positive side of things... and know that all the bad things that happen to you will make you stronger and they will make you appreciate the good times even more )

hope you feel better...
peace

Depression is when years and years of your life go on and everyday you feel empty alone and miserable.
