Depression can be a very difficult condition to recognise as some of the symptoms are often seen as normal behaviour.
We all feel sad at different times and we all get moody, distracted and all of us can want to have a break from family and friends.
However, if we are feeling like this for more than two weeks, and no longer get pleasure from those activities we used to enjoy very much, if we are having trouble getting our work done and not being able to concentrate and withdrawing from our family and friends, well then we need to look at our thoughts and feelings.
