A month ago you still felt pretty good most nights after work to go out to dinner or the movies, now you are out of steam every day at 16:00 Family members, friends or colleagues may feel that you reported earlier today that in the past, or you can choose, for example, chose to study rather than exercising in the evening.
Fatigue : This is the next step after the power has declined. Depression can cause physical fatigue. the dream becomes non-restorer, so tired, even when you wake up in the morning. You feel tired during the day. You can cheer for their day’s work, but when you get home you feel like it was crushed by a train. Not sure why you’re so tired, whatever. family members or friends to see you yawn, you hear how tired you are, you will notice that your posture is weak and that is stretching during the day. Sigh is heard, and note that the most slow and hesitant.

Mary's an avid gardener, but this spring is not there with his trowel and plant the way it normally is. Rick has season tickets to the Mets, but he stayed at home and when you ask him why he missed the last game, it just pulls and said: I do not want to go. This symptom may be easier for others to spot than the person who goes through.
Social withdrawal : This symptom is very easy to explain, but it can be difficult to notice, depending on the personality of the person is bipolar between episodes or more outgoing than reserved for a party animal or quiet evening alone with a book. Someone who is of course only can become manic or hypomanic episode during social and pull too much during the recession. But because this person is known for something like a lone wolf, no one can understand that this time the withdrawal is more severe than usual. Other changes include activities not listed may also occur in conjunction with depression, but the above are most commonly associated with depressive episodes of manic-depressive.

most effective is light therapy depression treatment. Of course you don't receive a lot of sun during winter so what you can do is use alternatives such as a light box, light visor, or dawn stimulator.
