What are the symptoms of depression?

The main features of depression are a persistent feeling of

sadness, loss of interest in activities, and tiredness. Below is a

depression checklist to find out if you or someone you know may

have depression (other symptoms of depression are in the

checklist).

questions, It’s unlikely that you have a depressive illness.
