These are actually quite well known symptoms.
But as a depression sufferer, some weird symptoms i can list as well.
Stomach issues, such as runs or congestion. Mostly congestion and stomach pain.
Inability to regulate fluid intake and not feeling thirsty or satiated.
Memory issues and feelings similar to dissociation, like feelings of confusion.
Waking up early, almost as if your sleep cycle terminates early.
Unable to feel temperature or feeling like limbs are cold and no matter how much you try you cant warm back up.
Shaky movement, like jitters although i guess this is close to moter agitation.
Tension in muscles and inability to relax your muscles.
Flat speech and issues showing emotion
Lack of attachment to memories, feeling like you are detached from your past and unable to feel complex emotions, everything feels empty and flat.
@@thesaddestdude3575agreed, these are overt sx! Are the other symptoms you’re having side effects from medications?
Yup, I've got all of these 😢

having been there myself I know that this may not be the most helpful, but i PROMISE something will work out for you. Depression is so tough because the "solution" is so different for everyone. We all know therapy and medications work but within each of those there are many options, and only a few may actually work for you. In my case, trying a new medication after half a year on my previous SSRI and more than a year of therapy was what finally "cracked" my severe depression and started my healing progress. It is genuinely impossible to imagine happiness when you are down that low, but I promise you: the joy you will feel in the future after going through all that you have is unmatched. Best of luck with your healing
Wishing you the best.
About calling the suicide hotline on behalf of a friend...
I did that once. When I told them it wasn't for me, but for a friend, they essentially responded with, "Oh, sorry, your friend has to call us."
😮😕🤦🏽♀️
I know this was briefly mentioned in the first point but also keep in mind, even depressed people can have their good days/moments. You may see them much more cheerful, lively and even being able to accomplish goals or overcoming obstacles they were previously struggling with. This does not mean their depression is gone, it's moreso the hole that depression traps us in has gotten more manageable to climb out of, so some days it is easier to deal with than others.
But depression is unpredictable, it will come and go whenever it pleases with no warning in advance. Eventually that hole will start to expand and deepen and next thing we know, we're trapped under that pit again, so it's important to never assume someone with depression has been 'cured' if they're doing better for a week or so, but rather be there to help support and encourage them during these moments.
Exactly there is no cure sadly, most things dont have a cure, every therapist will tell you that, you just learn how to tolerate it over time, but it still kills you inside and trauma doesn't go away or disappear, but it gets easier to manage if you are lucky & come across the right supportive group.
You definitely said what I am experiencing. No matter how happy I get, the phase will suddenly come back. What I'm afraid of is whether I will think about the last point mentioned or not, again, in the future (hopefully not tho) as I used to think about that in the past.
@@tashajournalexactly,me too
Depression in kids and teens also looks different, it's hard for parents to notice it and the symptoms are confusing.
A video or a couple talking about how depression in younger folks looks like, ir the symptoms, would be really helpful.

I hope this helps, and as Psych says, if you can relate to this video, seek professional help asap!! And remember, you're never alone. 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Stay safe, have a good day
It makes me wanna cry to see my entire life on this list.
10 out of 10, yet beyond all probability, I'm still here, still fighting the good fight. I'm exhausted. 😞
All I need is a hug or atleast someone to say it’s gonna be alright
It’s gonna be okay😢you can do it🩷
you are worth lots of hugs
it's gonna be ok, really 🙌🏽
Can you do a video on how to resist the urge to harm yourself if you suffer from self harm or suicidal ideation next please I been wanting this
This is pretty unrelated to the topic but this channel as a whole has helped me alot in bettering my habits and mental health. And i dont have money right now to give but just, thank you.
"You aren't suicidal because you are selfish or weak, you are suicidal because of a medical condition, a medical condition that deserves to be treated with help"
This is not true. There is no ”medical condition,” but naturally such a concept would exacerbate suicidal ideation due to the helplessness it generates in an individual.
I love your videos. They help me with my ADHD and my depression. I basically live to watch your videos.😊😊😊
Me too 😁
WHY SMILY FACES 💀💀💀💀💀
@@petrikortimeo because I love her videos. 😐
The signs from 5-10 shows that I have depression. I have trouble sleeping, having no motivation to focus or do homework, getting exhausted very quickly, feeling like I’m nothing from some the people around , and there were times where I want to get rid of myself. I keep trying my best to myself and hope I can get help at some point.
1 or 2 are required to be diagnosed with depression. You should still see a mental health professional though!
I got mine diagnosed and treated early but the biggest problem is that I still dealt with a lot of hidden signs. Appetite being one of my biggest one as a child. At one point, anhedonia kicked me hard. I don't suffer from the last sign as much as it used to. But the same time: it still shows up when I'm having a harder day than others.
It shows up on such days due to elevated stress hormone levels. Relaxation is essential.
@@JesseBrown-qf6zp It may make me look lazy but the last thing I need is to have days where I don't eat until 2pm. It has happened more than once.
@@AC-ni4gt You should force yourself to eat regularly in order to keep your mood more stable. Higher stress levels have a tendency to suppress appetite, so keeping those in check will enable a normal pattern.
@@JesseBrown-qf6zp I'm fine now but that was really bad back then.
Yeah, I know I have depression. Also "those" hotlines in Australia are always busy, so you can't talk to someone & if you were to go to an emergency room you'd be thrown out & our mental health professionals just prescribe antidepressants. All you can do is hope "it" ends quickly or take matters into your own hands. This is the 21st Century reality. I've been struggling with it & masking it in public because no one cares, my own family doesn't give a sh*t about me, my "friends" have their own familes & ignore me & I have to live with f*cking Autism too among other health issues in my late 30's & eternally single due to not being attractive &/or rich enough. Existence is torture!
I do not hide it. I am depressed. However, look around. There are countless reasons to be depressed. It is the ones that are blissfully happy that are clueless and have mental diseases.
I did loose my mom on April 21rst of this year, so I had depression for 6 months.
Every "signs of depression" video describes me really well, but I have a feeling that I am not actually depressed, and what I'm doing instead is romanticising depression and using it as an excuse to not improve myself...
These guys are listening and watching in my walls , these videos apear at oddly convinient times
I might as well tell you what happened to me a few years ago (since it’s linked to why I’m depressed). I was actually sold off from my parents to some sick idiots who kept me in a cell and only fed me twice a day with stale bread, cold leftovers and water. This went on for about 2 years. I remember being hit and abused by these people. Don’t ask why they bought me because I have no clue. I also actually used to be female. You may have guessed it. The brats changed my gender without my consent and I’m still a guy today. Eventually, they gave me back to my parents where they abused me more . They also thought I was an lgbtq supporter because of my gender change. I am heavily homophobic and I am ashamed that i was changed into a boy. It wasn’t even my fault it’s just so unfair. I think I was sold off when I was 6 or something. I was returned at age 8 almost 9. I still get painful flashbacks today.
I remember when I was locked up, still female, the people that kept me in there came in and lifted up my shirt and started touching my stomach. It wasn’t just there. It was any part of my body. I could do nothing but close my eyes and wait for them to stop. I spent most of the time in the cell, crying. I am 13 today and I still have severe depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts and ptsd.
I also typed this because I just wanted to tell anyone how I feel because I just can’t keep it in. I also have a new family now but I still don’t feel comfortable with opening to them (they know nothing about my past).
Wow, that's... I'm so sorry for you. I hope you are doing well now.... I'm so sorry for your past and for what you have been through, but ay, keep your head up, there's always light at the end of the tunnel. Look for the bright things in life, and listen to me you are just 13, your life has just started and there will be many things worth experiencing and living for trust me! Have you tried reaching to a psychologist, or a therapist, to friends? Trust me I know the feeling of depression and I hope you are doing well... and remember you are not alone in this! You probably are never going to see me, but I just want you to have a fulfilling life in the future and considering the fact the you are still a kid. So hey I dont know how to end this, but happy life ☺
I’m sorry this happened to you, especially the forced gender change. Gender dysphoria is rough, I would know, and I’m really sorry you have to go through all that.
I don't know what to say. That's such a sad story. I hope you know that nothing of this is your fault, you were and still are a kid/young teenager.
You said you are homophobic, why so? Do you really think being gay is something bad in general. If you aren't gay or never want to become gay that's totally understandable and normal. But what about other people? What's the problem with someone who is gay? I think there is nothing wrong about loving a different way. It probably feels strange because you could never imagine loving that way (and so do I), but just let them be. Maybe you are against LGBTQ because these people that kept you in cell did something wrong to you and changed your gender what is typical in the lgbtq bubble. They forced you into this without your agreement. If you hate the people that sold you off and the people that bought you that's 100% understandable, they treated you like shit. But this has nothing to do with LGBTQ people, they did nothing. If you are not for them or feel like they get too much attention, ok. But don't hate them. Just ignore them and focuse on yourself not on them. That's a win win situation, you have more energy to focus on you mental health and they can live in peace.
Give your new family a chance. Just because the people you used to live with treated you badly doesn't mean that your new family does the same. I really wish you the best because you deserve it :)
@@naw-_- being gay/trans is against my religion so I’ve never really accepted who I am since that incident.
@@user-bl6xi3zi7h that's really tough. I'm sorry to hear about your story and your conflicted sense of self. I really hope that your new family can offer you support and love through the challenging times of teenagerhood. I'm not sure what religion you follow but this story could be something worthwhile talking through with a religious leader in your faith of choice. I hope that you can make peace with yourself after this episode of your life. I think you should really talk this through with your new family as well, because they can probably help you with where you're at now. I really hope that you can have a wonderful teenagerhood and go on to live your life the way you want, as who you want. I also hope that you receive a lot of support along the way, because it will be beneficial to you. Blessings to you and your new family from Australia.
Thank you so much for all your vids! You have really made me want to be proud of who I am no matter what happens ❤
I have been really stressed lately and some of the symptoms feel familiar (Insomnia, useless movements e.g.) I'm glad to report that I probably should just lower my stress levels. Thank you for the video. It made me feel a little better about myself.
Thank you for this video😢 I have pretty bad depression ever since my uncle passed in 2019 it has scarred me for my life now I just don’t wanna be here anymore. I love watching ur videos
I’ve experienced quite a few in the past without having a clue what caused them. I got out ok in the end but this kind of info would have been great. I’m sure this is going to be a big help for many!
And yes, seek help and let others know. It’s so much more common than you think!
Video Idea: How should someone know when they are mentally ready (enough) for another relationship after losing one?
I don't have a numbing health condition, but it's as though my quality of life vanishes the very moment I experience its symptoms. Being depressed or just outright sad is just so comfortable and responsibility-relieving
I get depresed while being on my periods every month
I was depressed when I was 12 bc of quarantine and at 14 it became worst when i dated my ex bf I got more depressed lost interest in things I used to do and didn’t ate a lot. My ex bf didn’t do anything and only told my parents”is her depression okay” so he wouldn’t be shown as a bad person. His friend other wise would fat shame me or skin shame me about stuff i ate that made me stop eating. When it became winter my depression got worse panic attacks random out burst mood swings and tiredness. I skipped volleyball allot bc of my mood. I skipped class bc of random panic attacks. I broke up with my ex bf and got better. My bff helped me get better and I’m okay now still depressed but i only have a little of panic attacks but more tiredness
5:35 point no 10.
I'm 19. Last year something really bad was gonna happen in my life so this idea of death came into my mind. I was ready. But the situation got handled well.
But now I feel like I've fallen in a trap. I just can't be free altogether from it. I keep getting in& out several times a week. I've good times too in my life but this idea just never leaves my mind. I've lost interest in EVERYTHING. Feels like internally I've severed attachment from everyone & everything. I just wish to not exist at all. Everything feels so burdensome.
Sometimes I can sleep only when I think myself dead.
Thanks for letting me know that it's a sign of depression.
Don't know what to do next.
Thank you for sharing this video. You hit the nail on the head with alot of these signs with me. My doctor has me on 3 antidepressants.
Why aren't Schools teaching kids about physical and mental problems and how to deal with it. Schools just talk about random stuff like Shakespeare, Quadratic formula, etc that we won't use in our everyday lives. Psych2go, You're a great youtuber and a online psychiatrist, Keep up the good work. I'm a teen who has being going through depression for a year or two.
Appreciate a video that touches on suicide without being overly dramatic about it. I think a lot of us have those ideas, and it's important to take those thoughts seriously, but elsewhere on other sites and videos from other users I see a fear to even speak of the subject at all. So kudos.
Ty for the info!
Most beautifully soothing, relaxing and comforting voice EVER!
Not particularly fond of this particular style of art/animation.... Very much miss the animations of yesteryears....
If Amanda ever disappears from Psych2Go, it will be the saddest day in the history of Psych2Go.
Love your videos so so so much! Could you do one on hypochondria?
I enjoyed the mindfulness book "30 Days to Reduce Depression" by Harper Daniels. It taught me nice lessons.
Insomnia and increased appetite are two of my common signs.
Yes, a lot of people are depressed but don't know
This is a must watch
I do not like how accurate Psych 2 go is, it makes me feel that I really have schizophrenia ... every day they release a video that is relevant to something I faced the previous day or dealing with today.... It feels like someone is watching me & studying me & making videos for me specifically to see
I did have a few signs of this when my ex of 5 yrs walked out on me for good reason. She didn't love me and I guess that was good enough for her took me a few months and some of these videos to show its alright to give time to heal and aslo time to reflect which I did. And am glad to announce am finally back to my normal self again after a few months of healing and self reflection.
Three of these signs are true for me.
P.S. Thank you for bringing back numbers 🙏🏻
Thanks i needed this
I have just been diagnosed with depression but had all the symptoms 9 months ago, but now I have accepted that I need professional help
May god bless u with lots of love happiness long & healthy life ❤️ 😍 💖 ❣️
Love u lots psych2go ❤❤❤❤❤
please do one of "how bullying can effect our mental health" Please and thank you.
Hello. Thank you for your videos. I was wondering if you plan on making a videos on how to survive christmas if you are sad/alone/something horrible happened during christmas/your loved once that you spend chrismas with died etc. I try to keep the spirit going but its....hard. Seeing all the happy families and people coming together feels very painful. Dont get me wrong I am happy for others but many people spend the holidays alone. Could you please make a video giving tips on this subject? Thank you.
What a nice video! If only my overly protective and possessive parents could believe me and help me get the help that I need from a professional! It's not like they're just gonna say that "I'm okay" and just shrug it off as me overreacting or whatever!
More than half of these are relatable 😭
This one symptom of depression QUITE hidden.
It is, being suicidal 🥰
Whoever does those psych to go figures i like his artwork. That doll is kind of neat work of art.
Hi, I’ve been watching your videos for years and I just want to say thank you. Psych2go has improved my mental health in many different ways. Thank you so much for helping people when they need it most:)
I've been living with this crap for years and now I'm 23 I'm too scared to even act upon suicide so guess I gotta deal with this for another 60 odd years hopefully not. The doctors no matter how much I've seen them can't ever see to help me it's as if they don't believe me and then ppl at work judge me for not having the motivation to go to the doctors anymore and feel they have the right to complain about that like it's them that are broken. I've also had so many people that I do anything for as I put people before me always and then they stab me in the back cos they are 2 face narcissistic bullies. Now I'm at the point where I'm questioning whether any of this is even real cos it can't be, either I'm dead and this is hell, this is some sort of simulation or I'm currently in a coma and this is all 1 bad dream that I can't wake from.
Might I say, juste beware with depression diagnostic.
Maybe it doesn't happen everywhere, but my husband was diagnosed with depression. he had all the listed "signs".
Given meds that just kept aggravating his symptoms. It took 10 years to realize it was NOT depression.
It was undiagnosed environnemental heavy anxiety resulting from unseen/unacknowledged ADHD and toxic parents.
He stopped the anti-depressants in a one week timeframe. Got better in one more week.
Now he has anxiety meds that help a lot more, and a diagnosed ADHD that he is learning to cope with without meds (his choice).
I was diagnosed with depression. Anti-depressants just made me a mess, crying all the time, and just wanting to die. I stopped after 1 months, and begged for anxiety meds. Within a few weeks time frame it got a lot better. Been diagnosed with ADD a lot later...
Antidepressant and ADHD/ADD do not do well together.
Just in case someone find themselves in the same situation.
Well since I suffer from suicidal ideation self harm and intrusive thoughts I’ve felt In a depressive episode for like 2 months or 1 year and I also felt hopeless aswell
If I'm unconscious, I can't think bad things. I don't feel anything anymore.
Very informative, thank you. Can you tell me the music score of this please.
Thank you 😢
Thanks 🥺
Yep think I got them all, can you maybe now make some vid on how to fight this state?
thanks for this video. yeah currently i've got most of these. i think its recurring from 3 years old. idk i feel like more darker than before.
According to these (though I've known for a while) I've had minor depression for a while, but it's gotten worse over the course of this year. I've already in and out of the suicide range a few times, but there was a week where it almost refused to go away. I will probably never get a therapist though since I don't want to tell my parents about it.
The music change at 5:35 caught me off guard
Not gonna lie, sometimes when I go on a train back home some days I just sit there and cry, everything I do results in a bad or unhealthy outcome now and I never seem to be able to recover the behaviour before that outcome. I’m supposed to be writing a book about some things I experience when I have panic attacks and stuff like this while I’m on the train and I wrote my first sentence “it’s like walking up a spiral staircase just to be kicked down by a gust of wind.”
Edit: my last paragraph I ended like this “if god does love his creations why doesn’t he help me, who have I been praying to this whole time?”
id like to say that i have deppresion. ive been diagnosed with it. i go to see a therapist i used to see 2 of them. i watch these videos because it gives me something to do instead of lay in bed
For those of us trying to live with physical disabilities, could there be a video with earnest things we can try to do other than work to find a feeling of normalcy in our lives?
thanks this was the first video i watched when i thought i was depressed turns out i got 9/10 which helps me understand it more
My parents need to watch this. Especially with the sleep one. They shame me for sleeping so long and make me get up when i dont want to
I wish that personas have that fels good of your future...❤❤❤❤
I have alot of these symptoms . I've been off work. Can't get out off bed. Got a doctor's appointment today
I feel like I'm drowning. I wish I could just disappear into air like I never existed. I wish people wouldn't notice that I'm even gone.
I have the same thoughts. You are not alone
Same sister. But I care about you after reading this. Stay strong.
7 is so true for me. and probably the other signs too, i might be depressed
Can you do "Signs you are enjoying the life you wanted"? :)
Yeah showing signs of a ton of this made me find out (with a therapist) that I do in fact have depression
I got all of them and I think the fight is over it’s winning
I have depression when I was younger I still have it to this day
I actually have MDD major depressive disorder
Edit: I also have severe insomnia, I’ve had it since I was born.
😔 two coins to this, it is nice learning about this but learning I exhibit most of these symptoms is even more depressing
I have noticed a lot of these in myself
I've been diagnose with depression😊 and avpd or aviodant personality disorder 5 months ago.
Can you do a video about meds? I keep changing my medication but nothing is working. I've felt better before but, after a while, it stops. I want to know other ways to help with that. Maybe natural ones.
I probably had/have depressions for about 2 years now, but thanks to my ''wonderful parents'', I never got the chance to see a therapist, even teachers noticed and told me to go to therapy, but my parents just told me that I am something like selfish. I have no right to be depressed as no one abuses me phsyically and I have legs and arms and food or whatever. But after ignoring depressions for these 2 years, I think it starts to go away? Can they just go away? I am not sure, but I started to feel happier, a bit. I mean I still cry sometimes for no reason or feel just awful and want to die, but besides that I stopped doing self-harm and other things! I just dont know if its gone completely.
Most depressed people doesn't even know they have it. Like me two years ago. My doctor said I had depression for the past 14 years. I was shoked, even though I had a really tough time, suicide attempts, dipsomania and a lot more. I still thought depression is something worse and I was having a good life. I was diagnosed with F32.3. Please, if you feel you have problems - don't wait and see a professional.
Also rememeber, if you feel better instantly - that doesn't mean you are cured. If after some years you feel better - still soesn't mean you do not have depression anymore. It can return again and will slowly make your life a hell and you won't even notice.
If you see your friend is having some symptoms - you need to convince them to come to a doctor. My friends did, thanks to them.
Stay mentally stable and doesn't matter if you have some problems or no. Depression, BPD or any other can come any time.
I don't want to say why, but thank you.
Okay but I’m realizing that I relate to a lot of these and it’s kinda scary 😦
would you make a video with signs of ADD/ADHD please?❤️
I can't really tell when I was actually happy for the last time and not artificially just from substances or anything.
The first comment finally after many attempts! Great video too! ❤❤
Your fifth
@@ThehjhhhhhggttygI put my comment first? And sure?
@@fereshtehshojaei8514 yes, I’m sure
I drthi k it really matters
hello, I love your videos. Do you mind making a video about the ‘deep fear of death’ aka Thanatophobia? Not the feeling of desire to d!e but the fear of the unknown and the ‘non-existent’. It would be immensely appreciated for you to consider a video for that…
If you feel depressed, talk to someone about it. You're not alone.
I just had the worst day ever as I got this morning and my was already crying and she told me her sister my aunt has passed away at the young age of 40 me and my whole family is an complete mess.
I definitely have all these signs
Yay, 10 out of 10!!!
Is it possible to be suicidal while being unaware of it? If so could you explain what it is and maybe do a future video on it.
If anyone wants to speak im here!!
Hellooo , can you please do one about SA consequences?
Had more than I wanted to admit to
I have depression😣so sad😢
Thanks now I know I have symptoms of depression
This is all just shit I've delt with over my entire life. As in they are constants and never go away.
