23 Unclinical Signs of Depression
Sometimes the Depression Self-Screening Tests are just too clinical, and the symptoms don’t really “click” with you. The criteria may seem general, and if you’re suffering from depression, specifics are easier to understand.
I know that I might not have diagnosed myself with depression just on the basis of those symptoms. I had no change in appetite, and no sleep problems. (For me, getting out of bed was what was difficult.) Below are some un-clinical symptoms.

2. You don’t feel hopeful or happy about anything in your life.
3. You’re crying a lot for no apparent reason, either at nothing, or something that normally would be insignificant.
4. You feel like you’re moving (and thinking) in slow motion.

6. Carrying on a normal conversation is a struggle. You can’t seem to express yourself.
7. You’re having trouble making simple decisions.
8. Your friends and family really irritate you.
9. You’re not sure if you still love your spouse/significant other.
10. Smiling feels stiff and awkward. It’s like your smiling muscles are frozen.
