Signs and Symptoms of Depression One of the most common mental health conditions affecting people of all ages is depression. Cornerstone to this disorder are feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and helplessness that can hinder a person's functioning in a myriad of ways. Being able to recognize the signs and symptoms of depression is the first step a person can take towards getting help to alleviate the oftentimes crippling effects of this disorder. Individuals who are depressed often lose interest in activities that were once enjoyed, sleep more often, and/or experience changes in appetite that can cause weight loss or gain. Additionally, depressed people will appear tearful or display emotional outbursts after being triggered by a minor stressor. Furthermore, those who experience ongoing depression symptoms may begin to use drugs and/or alcohol as a means of coping with their inner turmoil. For some, depression can lead to suicidal ideations or attempts.. What is important to know, however, is that those who are battling depression can find relief from this condition by engaging in treatment that can alleviate depression symptoms and instill skills for managing stress that can serve a person well for a lifetime. Treatment Options at MeadowWood Behavioral Health MeadowWood Behavioral Health System prides itself in being a superior provider of mental healthcare for people of all ages.
