5 Common Symptoms of Depression

Desire to Isolate

Depression may have a big effect on how you relate or connect to others. A typical sign is a strong desire to isolate or withdraw from your family and friends. You might not want to talk to them as usual or are not interested in chatting or texting with your close friends. This is a very common sign that countless sufferers have experienced. Try to make a short list of all activities you often did before the feeling gets worse. Try to estimate the frequency in the next few weeks to see whether the rate has decreased significantly or not. This can help you know whether you have a tendency to isolate yourself from social relationships, which would indicate the presence of depression. [6]
