Depression is a common mental disorder, and common symptoms include fatigue, sadness, loss of interest, irritation, feelings of worthlessness and even suicidal thoughts or suicidal ideation. It is important to understand that depression is not the ordinary feelings of sadness that everyone experiences from time to time. Depression goes beyond being sad or feeling down, and is a serious mental health condition that requires professional treatment.
