All human beings have experienced sadness from time to time at some point in their lives. However, clinical depression is a condition debilitating and constant that interferes with a person's daily activities. Many times accompanied by feelings extremely negativeof guilt and inability. Some of the most common behaviors in this type of disorder are described below:
- demotivation. Shows apathy to daily activities such as working, studying or taking care of the home, cleaning and cooking. You find it easier to give up any activity due to lack of energy or disinterest, which is why you may sleep longer than usual.
- Isolation. This is observable when the tendency is not to attend social events with friends and family. At first it was preferably small groups and without much fuss. Breaking appointments in which he had already stated that he would attend. He spends a lot of time in his room, stating that he prefers to be alone and not talk.
- Lack of concentration. Many people state that they have a hard time concentrating, even if they try hard, which seriously affects their work performance.
- Alcohol and tobacco dependence. If they find themselves stressed or anxious, they turn to this medium as part of the solution, plunging more and more into the same mental attitude.
- Unsafety. Some have claimed that they were formerly decision-makers, but changed their attitude because they did not know what to do in relatively simple situations. So they don't undertake new projects like studying, a new job, a better job position, a house or a new car.
- Irritability. It occurs in small difficulties, the reaction is adverse and aggressive for no apparent reason.
- lateness and disorder. As a result, they lose their jobs, for continually being late, not meeting their responsibilities on time, or losing important documents. Your house has become a messy and dirty place.
- controllers. His life becomes a routine and if something happens and changes it, his character is altered. Sometimes they need enough money to spend on things that are unnecessary, but that give them a calm feeling.
- Insomnia. It is probable that they stay awake or manage to sleep a few hours and then do not feel more sleepy. Reason why they become addicted to TV, video games or the internet.
- Bad mood. They stop smiling, joking, the whole perception of their world is gray and negative, there are no reasons to celebrate and be happy. Therefore, they give hostile treatment to children or partner.
- they prefer the dark. Opening the windows, going out to the patio, planting a plant, playing or exercising outside, turns out to be toxic for them.
- Suicidal thoughts. Perhaps this is one of the most worrisome, since not only has he expressed his desire to die, but he has also tried to do so. Other signs of concern in this regard may be self-harm, which can be verbal or physical.
