Ninh explains, Depression Part 1: Do you really have it?
Ah depression, it's the 21st century's biggest problem at the moment.
But a lot of people confuse depression with anger.
A lot of people confuse depression with feeling down or being sad.
A lot of people confuse depression with just being hacked off with life.
Before I go into the video, I'd like to point out 3 things:
Whether you have depression or not, just know that there is an answer for it and that you're
not the only one thinking this way.
Whether you have depression or not, just know that there's no shame in admitting that
you have it.
One in two of us have some form of mental illness.
One in two.
That's half of us .. and it's more common than you think.
Whether you have depression or not, just know that it's going to be okay.
If you want to be free of this, you can be.
It might not happen overnight, but you will heal eventually.
So how do I know if I have depression?
Well, you'll usually exhibit more than one of these telltale signs.
Some of these are more surprising than you think.
1) Fatigue.
Do you wake up in the morning, every morning and just feel tired?
Whether you've had 3 hours sleep or 30 hours sleep, you're just too tired or fatigued
to do anything?
Tiredness alone isn't depression, but that might be an indicator of depression.
2) Change in appetite: do you eat like a horse for no reason?
Do you feel that you're trying to fill a void with food and then feel even emptier
inside afterwards?
Maybe you have the opposite problem and you feel so down so much that you just don't
eat at all.
Or when you do eat, you throw it back up again.
Changes to your appetite can be indicative of depression.
3) Self-loathing: Do you absolutely hate yourself?
Do you have negative thoughts swirling around your head?
Feel worthless that you're not good for anything, maybe you want to end it all?
This one's a pretty big warning sign of depression, so I wouldn't ignore this one if you have
it.
4) Numbness: Do you lack emotion?
Have you lost interest in things that you used to enjoy?
Have you lost your sexual mojo?
5) Introversion: do you try and avoid people now?
Do you go out of your way to be anti-social?
Maybe you've started locking yourself away in your room and not talking to anybody?
Again, introversion isn't depression in itself, but it's an indicator of it.
6) Erratic sleep patterns?
Do you end up sleeping at random times?
Going to bed and waking up at complete different times everyday?
Maybe when you do sleep you just … don't?
If you only have one of these symptoms, chances are that you probably don't have depression,
but linked to something else like poor diet, lack of exercise, stress etc.
But the more of those symptoms you have the more likely you do actually have depression.
If you figured out from this video that you do actually have depression, I'll reiterate
what I said at the beginning of this video: there is an answer for it, there's no shame
in admitting that you have it and it's going to be okay.

depression) coming in the next few days.
