A bad mood is sometimes mistakenly referred to depression, but the latter is a serious diagnosis that only a psychiatrist can make. Let’s figure out when the problem is a temporary bad mood, and when it\u2019s a possible symptom of the disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Low mood<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Norm: a drop in mood in response to some kind of a sad and stressful event can last for several days, but after 10-14 days, the body usually recovers and gradually starts to demand positive emotions as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reason to see a doctor: low mood without any hint of positive emotions for more than 14 days (especially if there was no significant reason).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.Anhedonia<\/strong> (loss of interest and pleasure from previously pleasant activities or significant events).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Norm: again, in response to a serious stressful event, a loss of interest in work, study, and life in general may be prevalent for a while. But after about 10 days, this condition begins to dissipate and positive dynamics make an appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reason to see a doctor: more than 2 weeks there\u2019s a lack of pleasure from the good news. Meeting with friends or a beloved dog doesn\u2019t bring any pleasure and joy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Exhaustion and increased fatigue.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Norm: after some kind intensive work or a long period when the work-life balance was disturbed, it\u2019s natural for a person to experience exhaustion. With the help of a vacation, the body and the psychological state are restored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reason to see a doctor: loss of strength and increased fatigue have occurred in the course of the regular day-to-day life for no apparent reason and are happening for more than 2 weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n

4. Thoughts about death and suicide.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Norm: we all think about death occasionally, and sometimes, the thought of suicide flies through our heads. But if a person is critical of it, understands its absurdity, and reasoning about death is philosophical in nature, then there\u2019s nothing critical in that. You can contact a therapist, but you shouldn\u2019t suspect yourself to have depression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reason to see a doctor: thoughts of death become attractive: \u201cI\u2019d rather be dead\u201d, ideas about suicide are not refuted, but are actually considered as a way out of the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Sleep disorder<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Norm: as a result of an acute stressful situation, we might have problems with sleep: it\u2019s difficult to fall asleep, you\u2019re getting nightmares or constantly waking up in the middle of the night. But usually, once the problem is solved, sleep is also improved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reason to see a doctor: sleep disturbance for no apparent reason, including sleeping more than 10-12 hours a day for more than a week — these are already alarming signals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Appetite disorders<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Norm: we always respond to stressful situations either by loss of appetite, or by the desire to overeat. It’s best to deal with the letter with the help of a therapist, but we can\u2019t talk about the presence of depression here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reason to see a doctor: loss of appetite or an insatiable feeling of hunger for no reason for 2 weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you can see, the main points are that depression doesn\u2019t occur in response to an event, but by itself. Yes, sometimes it\u2019s possible that a painful situation serves as a trigger, and then in this case we look at the duration of the symptoms. If they last for 2 weeks, then this is a good reason to consult with a specialist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
