(Jackie Parker) A depressed person doesn’t have to be dysfunctional or unable to get out of bed in the morning. There are much milder, but omnipresent symptoms… Like feelings of helplessness, pessimism, lack of self-worth, problems with concentrating, and making decisions, not getting pleasure from what used to feel amazing, etc. The list is quite extensive, which is why you need to pay attention to your inner workings.
