Constant low moods are often a warning sign of depression. This can involve feeling irritable and angry, experiencing uncontrollable emotions, feeling guilty when you shouldn’t and feeling tearful.

With depression can come a lack of energy. This feeling of fatigue can cause a domino effect that causes you to stop doing the things you enjoy. Because you feel so tired you may find yourself sleeping more than usual.

People with depression can also fluctuate with their eating habits. Again like sleep, this can vary per person. Some people may eat more and therefore gain weight others lose their appetite and will lose weight. Physical changes in a person can be key to spotting changes in them.
Depression can be a result of abusing substances and alcohol, but it can also be something people turn to try and make themselves feel better.
