Pre-Treatment: Recognizing Depression
It can be difficult to tell the difference between normal sadness and depression. We can start by looking at:
1. How long the emotions and behaviour changes have lasted – if we shows certain emotions like sadness or behaviour like being overly tired and often irritable for more than two weeks, it might be depression.
2. How strong the emotions are and whether they’re there all the time, or come and go.
3. How much the emotions and behaviour are affecting our work, relationships, physical health, enjoyment or everyday activities.
