Depression is a mood disorder, and we sometimes confuse it with just feeling down. It can be described as feelings of sadness, loss, or anger that interferes with one&#8217;s daily functioning and can be identified through assessing if you have the following symptoms over a period of not less than 2 weeks:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Difficulty concentrating, remembering details, and making decisions<\/li>\n<li>Fatigue and decreased energy<\/li>\n<li>Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, and\/or helplessness<\/li>\n<li>Feelings of hopelessness and\/or pessimism<\/li>\n<li>Insomnia, early-morning wakefulness, or excessive sleeping<\/li>\n<li>Irritability, restlessness<\/li>\n<li>Loss of interest in activities or hobbies once pleasurable<\/li>\n<li>Overeating or appetite loss<\/li>\n<li>Persistent aches or pains, headaches, cramps, or digestive problems that do not ease even with treatment<\/li>\n<li>Persistent sad, anxious, or &#8220;empty&#8221; feelings<\/li>\n<li>Thoughts of suicide, and\/or suicide attempts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Depression symptoms can vary from mild to severe. Having recognized that you may have depression, it is more important to take action and get appropriate treatment for it. Free yourself from this cycle of negative feelings; things can get better.<\/p>\n<p>Make an online request for an appointment with our professional counsellors for ways to deal with depression.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<div  style='height:25px' class='hr hr-invisible   avia-builder-el-4  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner ' ><span class='hr-inner-style'><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<section class=\"av_textblock_section \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock  '   itemprop=\"text\" ><section id=\"text-8\" class=\"widget clearfix widget_text amr_widget\"><h3 class=\"widgettitle\">Appointment Booking<\/h3>\t\t\t<div class=\"textwidget\"><p><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Thank you for choosing the Singapore Counselling Centre (SCC).
