Hello. My name is Leslie Moselle and I'm from Tampa, Florida. And, on behalf of Expert Village,
these are the signs of depression. For a doctor or other health professional to diagnose depression,
most of the following signs and symptoms must be present for at least two weeks. Frequent
Absences or Poor Performance at School and Work: One of the first signs can be problems
with relationships. This can mean problems with relationships such as your spouse, your
family, your friends or your coworkers. You may forget a special date that you have planned
with your wife or husband for months. You may not attend those job outings that you
once did and you may just not be as close to your friends as you once were. Another
sign is decreased productivity. You may not have turned your homework in, or be getting
assignments done on time, and you may not be meeting those quotas at work. This may
lead to a failure in school or a loss of a job. These are only a few ways depression
can affect your performance, but these are definitely signs of depression.
