What Are The Symptoms Of Depression?

how do I know if I am depressed? I have Parkinson s, intolerable leg cramps, terrible itching, serous constipation, helped only with a constantly changing mix of laxatives, stool softeners, prune juice, glycerin suppositories, enema s and special diets. I take high doses of various dopamine mixtures and extended release formulations, along with dopamine mimics azilect, and requip. all of these have awful & destructive side effects and interactions. Requip alone has caused me to gamble away close to $1,000,000 - maybe more by the time I ffinish assessing the damages. Thanks in advance. Jim GRAMLICH

Hi,

Depression means low self-esteem and energy level. The person feels worthless. He feels hopeless. There is decreased sleep. A person does not find pleasure in activities which he used to enjoy earlier.

But these symptoms should be present for the most part of the day on most days for consecutive 1 month period. A person may have symptoms as body pains or decreased sexual desire.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
