Most depressed patients have physical and other biological symptoms, such as palpitations, chest tightness, gastrointestinal discomfort, constipation, loss of appetite and weight loss. Sleep disorders are prominent, mostly difficulty falling asleep.

Depressed mood:

The basic characteristics are low mood, distress, and lack of interest. Feeling pessimistic and hopeless, suffering and unbearable, feeling that the days are long and life is worse than death. Often describe their inner experience with words such as life is meaningless and they can't be happy. Typical people have depression, which is worse during the day and better at night. Often coexists with anxiety.

Slow thinking:

The thinking process is inhibited, the reaction is slow, and the brain feels not working. The manifestation is that the active speech is reduced, the speed of speech is significantly slowed down, and thinking problems is laborious. The reaction is slow and it takes a long time to wait. Under the influence of low mood, self-evaluation is low, inferiority, a sense of uselessness and worthlessness, and the sense that life is meaningless. There is pessimism and suicidal intentions. There is self-blame and guilt, and it is believed that living has become a burden and that a serious sin has been committed. On the basis of physical discomfort, hypochondriasis occurs, and it is believed that one has an incurable disease.

Decreased volitional activity:

Active activities are significantly reduced, life is passive, unwilling to participate in activities that are of interest to the outside world, and often alone. Life is lazy, developing into silence and immobility, and can reach the level of stupor. The most dangerous is the recurrence of suicidal attempts and behaviors.
