Beat Depression

We probably have all experienced the "blues" or "being down" at some time or another - which isn't necessarily the same as being clinically depressed.

According to the DSM-IV-TR criteria for diagnosing a major depressive disorder one or both of the following two required elements need to be present to diagnose clinical depression:

Depressed mood, or
Loss of interest or pleasure.
It is sufficient to have either of these symptoms in conjunction with four of a list of other symptoms. These include:
Feelings of overwhelming sadness or fear, or seeming inability to feel emotion.
Marked decrease of interest in pleasurable activities.
Changing appetite and marked weight gain or weight loss.
Disturbed sleep patterns, either insomnia or sleeping more than normal.
Changes in activity levels, restless or moving significantly slower than normal.
Fatigue, both mental and physical.
Feelings of guilt, helplessness, anxiety, and/or fear.
Lowered self-esteem.
Decreased ability to concentrate or make decisions.
Thinking about death or suicide.
