#3 Fatigue. Plain, old fashioned fatigue. Feeling tired getting up in the morning, feeling tired hitting the sheets. Close to feeling exhausted. Both physical and mental. And probably without being to able to pinpoint where this 24/7 feeling comes from.

When there is no medical problem and this feeling of exhaustion lasts for several days, even if you slowed down a bit and have taken some days off, you have a very good reason to see your doctor. It’s a major sign of depression.

It isn’t too hard to explain why feeling tired can be a sign of depression. People suffering from depression, lose interest in every day life. Everything they do, feels like a waist of time. It’s a burden. Even activities that used to lift their spirits, end up being an energy drain.
And that isn’t all. People suffering from depression tend to have their eating and sleeping pattern disturbed. That is an energy drain itself.

It’s a combination of factors why old fashioned fatigue can be considered a sign of depression.
