What does Depression look like?

Depression isn’t just feeling sad—it’s a serious condition that affects how people think, feel, and act. Common signs include feeling down most of the time, losing interest in things that used to be enjoyable, feeling exhausted, struggling to focus, changes in sleep or appetite, and sometimes even thoughts of self-harm. But depression doesn’t look the same for everyone. Teens with depression are often more irritable than sad. They might seem easily annoyed, start doing worse in school, withdraw from friends, or complain about headaches or stomachaches with no clear cause. In men, depression can show up as anger, frustration, or risky behavior rather than obvious sadness. Some men try to cope by drinking more, working too much, or shutting people out. Because depression can look different depending on the person, it’s important to recognize the signs and reach out for support when needed.
