Fatigue - Feeling tired or fatigued nearly every day may be associated with depression.
Sleep - Sleeping too much or not enough may be a symptom of depression.
Weight - A weight change of more than 5% (up or down) in a month when you haven’t been trying to gain or lose weight may be a sign of depression.
Unexplained aches and pains - Being bothered by unexplained aches and pains (such as headaches, stomach pain, joint pains or other pains).
Thinking and concentration - Difficulty thinking, concentrating, or making decisions may be associated with depression.
