Common symptoms include decreased energy and concentration, hopelessness, lack of interest, changes to sleep or appetite. Some people may also experience suicidal thoughts.
There are many treatment options for those experiencing depression. Treatment options include talk therapy, medication, lifestyle changes (such as exercise), and light therapy. Other therapies such as TMS, ECT and ketamine are sometimes recommended.
