Can someone give me a list of the symptoms of depression?

And, how can depression be cured if the external causes are always going to be there? Is there any hope for someone who is seriously considering suicide on a daily basis?

Drowsiness, stomach aches, mood swings, feelings of lonliness and despair... I can't think of anything eles. Check with doctor.

I know one symptom.

Mott got it right. Give him 10.

every person has different and similar symptoms.
you sound like you have depression called situational depression.
this is different than clinical depression
i know how you feel,
time is the best healer
and just say I LOVE MY LIFE all the time in your head and i found that this helps..even though it may not be so true all the time.
you sound pretty normal to me --we all have dark days

The signs and symptoms of clinical depression are:

Persistent sad, anxious or "empty" mood
Changes in sleep patterns
Reduced appetite and weight loss, or increased appetite and weight gain
Loss of pleasure and interest in once-enjoyable activities, including sex
Restlessness, irritability
Persistent physical symptoms that do not respond to treatment, such as chronic pain or digestive disorders
Difficulty concentrating at work or at school, or difficulty remembering things or making decisions
Fatigue or loss of energy
Feeling guilty, hopeless or worthless
Thoughts of suicide or death
**See a doctor or qualified mental health professional for help, right away.**

Yes, their is hope. if you or someone you know is considering suicide on a daily basis, go to the emergency room. Depression is a physical illness, and it can be helped. sometimes medication is needed, sometimes it is not. when it is needed it is sometimes needed for a life time, sometimes it is not. Everyone is different, but one thing is for sure, no one has to feel so terrible anymore. you can not just "snap out of it" any more than some one can just snap out of cancer, depression needs to be treated by a doctor. Depression is an illness with in a person, such as diabetes, a flu, cancer, etc., you have to cure the person, not the environment they are in. Signs of depression are thoughts of committing suicide, loss of sleep, sleeping too much, loss of appetite, short attention span, irritability, feelings of wanting to withdraw from people or things that they once wanted to be around, feelings of hopelessness, and lack of motivation. their IS HOPE for even the most seriously depressed individual, seek the treatment, it is out there and it does work.

Excessive worry
Lack of sleep or too much sleep
lack of interest in daily activities
no appetite or you overeat
irritability
you want to be left a lone
everything you do seems like a burden
you don't look forward to much

If someone is depressed enough to want to consider suicide they need to see a counselor. the only cure for depression is medication and counseling.
you lack hope

You may have feelings that no one cares,.... and you don't care anymore...you don't care if you get out of bed in the morning or not....you want to be by yourself....you think of painless ways to kill yourself.....you stop hanging with your friends....the things that used to give you joy, don't anymore......you want to just give up....you want to harm yourself....you have feelings of self hate...
Thiese are some symptoms of "Chronic or Clinical Depression"......I have been suffering for about 6 or 7 years.....My doctor has been trying different medications to help me.....I am just not happy anymore.....

I AM SORRY YOU FEEL DOWN OR THE PERSON YOU KNOW, FIRST,NO MOTIVATION OR SELF ESTEM, SLEEPING LATE IS 2, MAKING EXCUSES NOT WANTING TO DO THINGS WITH FRIENDS IS 3 THIS IS HOPE AND PLEASE DO THIS SOON,
GO TO THE ER IN THE HOSPITAL WERE YOU LIVE OR THE PERSON YOU KNOW.
DESPESSION IS AS YOU KNOW OR NOW RANKS IN THE UPPER 10 MUST LISTED IN THE MENTAL ILLNESS, SUICIDE IS PART OF IT. SHE OR HE CAN GET MEDCIAL ATTENTION AND MAY NEED MEDS TO HELP YOUR SITUTATION ALONG WITH MANY FOLLOW UPS WITH YOUR DOCTOR. NOW TRY THIS SET SOME GOALS, KEEP BUSY EVERY DAY, DO SOMETIME THAT WILL MAKE YOU HAPPY, HELP SOMEONE, IF YOU HAVE a PET PLAY WITH, OR GET ONE IF DON'T HAVE ONE.LAST THINK POSITIVE.

Well my sypmtoms were:
moodiness
tiredness
crying
day dreaming about a better life
un enthusiastic
not myself at all
loss of self confidence and I forgot whom I was
and anti-social
I would say just to think about all the things that have ever been good in your life.like I started thinking about childhood and how much fun it was to have no worries and be so trusting. and I started to think about being more like the child I used to be, and I started to realize who I was and how great life is even though you are in a bad situation, you can always pull through. and what does not kill you only makes you stronger. Just fight through it, it took me about 1 year and a half. But now I have a whole new view on life and I am glad that I got out of it. My life hit a very rough patch, and now I can move through my problems with a smmile on. Oh try yoga it really helps you to relax your thoughts.

I am a pharmacy technician and we have to know different drugs and side effects and this is what my answer it:
