Constant weakness or loss of energy.
Frequent feelings of worthlessness or guilt

person to person. So you don't need to have all these signs and symptoms
to have depression and it also vary from male to female. For instance, compared

guilt, anxiety, eating disorders, or increased sleep. Depressed older adults
