I am 27 and think I have mild depression. What sort of symptoms usually occur with depression?

There are some individuals who may develop mild depression which may start gradually for no reason. The individual may start to feel tired, restlessness, feel lonely and have difficulty sleeping. In many cases, the individual loses interest in sex and wants to be left alone. One may be able to go to work but not have any enjoyment. Mild depression may last a lot longer than severe depression but can be overcome with changes in lifestyle, psychotherapy and social support.

 However, some individuals develop severe depression which may induce feelings of not wanting to live anymore. Suicidal ideations are common in severe depression. In severe depression one may feel sad all the time, cry for no apparent reason, have trouble sleeping and focusing, become fatigued, feel worthless, develop headaches or backache and may increasingly have thoughts of self harm/suicide.
