The kind of depression that will most likely benefit from Antidepressants
treatment with medications is more than just "the blues." It's a condition
that's prolonged, lasting two weeks or more, and interferes with a person's
ability to carry on daily act and to enjoy activities that previously brought
pleasure.
The depressed person will seem down, or may show a lack of interest in his
surroundings. He may have trouble eating and lose weight. He may sleep too much
or too little, have difficulty going to sleep, sleep restlessly, or awaken very
early in the morning. He may speak of feeling guilty, worthless, or hopeless.
He may complain that his thinking is slowed down that's why he need
Antidepressants. He may lack energy, feeling "everything's too much," or he
might be agitated and jumpy. If the person is depressed, he/she may cry. He may
think and talk about killing himself and may even make a suicide attempt.
Some people who are depressed have psychotic symptoms, such as delusions that
are related to their depression. For instance, a psychotically depressed person
might imagine that he is already dead, or "in hell," being punished. Not
everyone who is depressed has all these symptoms, but everyone who is depressed
has at least some of them and they need Antidepressants.
