Unintentional Weight Loss

Depression is a common cause of diminished appetite.

Have you also noted one or more of the following:

  • feeling sad or low
  • loss of enjoyment in things that you previously liked to do
  • blaming yourself for circumstances and events in your life
  • difficulty sleeping
  • staying in bed for most of the day?

Yes, this sounds like me.

No, I don't think I have depression.
