“It was not really alarming at first, since the change was subtle, but I did notice that my surroundings took on a different tone at certain times: the shadows of nightfall seemed more somber, my mornings were less buoyant, walks in the woods became less zestful, and there was a moment during my working hours in the late afternoon when a kind of panic and anxiety overtook me…”

- William Styron, Darkness Visible

A depressed person is enveloped by feelings of sadness, emptiness and worthlessness. These feelings distort every thought and experience, rendering life meaningless and hopeless. (In other words, you become numb to life).

Ø More specifically, there are certain identifiable feelings associated with depression.

Ø Not all of them will be felt by all depressed people, but many will be recognised by those who are going through, or have gone through, a depressive episode.

Ø They all stem from the fact that depression alters a person's perception of the world.

Depression may manifest itself in different ways.

Ø Resignation:

One of the more widely recognised feelings of depression is resignation; 'Why bother?', 'What's the point in anything?' and 'We'll all be dust one day anyway' are examples of comments from depressed people.
