Depression usually has the following seven characteristics:

Feature 1: long-term depression, it is difficult to be happy.

When it comes to the biggest difference between depressed patients and normal people, it should be emotional changes. People with depression will be depressed for a long time, unable to lift their spirits, not interested in anything, and feel that life is boring and the days are gloomy. Usually there will be unreasonable sadness and dull expression, and I want to make myself happy through something I liked in the past, but I can't be happy without it.

Feature 2: Low sense of self-identity and shame.

People with depression will feel more ashamed than before, think that they are useless and can't do anything well, which will become a burden to their relatives, and their psychological self-blame is particularly serious. When they ask others for help, they often don't get the understanding of others, and they will feel isolated and abandoned by the whole world, which will make them more sad and depressed. In severe cases, there will be some abnormal behaviors, and people around you will not feel the patient's "cry for help" and choose to treat it lightly, which will hurt the patient's heart.

Feature 3: Memory loss and slow response.

Depression will do some damage to the brain, and patients with depression will have cognitive impairment, which is manifested as: decreased memory, difficulty in concentration and slow response.

Feature 4: Sleep disorder

Many patients with depression will suffer from insomnia, and with the aggravation of their illness, the degree of insomnia will become more and more serious, the quality of sleep will be significantly reduced, and it is easy to wake up suddenly and dream more. The body tends to feel tired, lifeless and the brain is not clear.

Feature 5: I don't like to associate with people.

People with depression will have obvious resistance to socializing, even those who are close to each other are reluctant to contact and associate more.
