Sufferers also experience a noticeable loss of appetite and weight. This weight loss is not due to a diet or regiment of exercise but mainly in the person not having any urge to eat. They might be feeling irritability, lose their concentration frequently and have feelings of hopelessness. They might stop participating in activities, that brought much joy to them in the past.

If you or a loved one shows signs of depression, it is advisable to seek a consultation with a physician or psychiatrist for diagnosis and treatment.
