Recognizing the signs of depression clearly, and understanding when it's time to seek professional support.
Depression symptom searches are among the most common mental health questions there are, and understanding what depression actually looks like — beyond just "feeling sad" — is often the first step toward getting real support. This guide is the flagship starting point.
Inside: the range of depression symptoms beyond low mood (sleep, appetite, concentration, energy, motivation), the difference between a rough patch and something that warrants professional attention, self-assessment for understanding your own experience honestly, and where to turn for support, including crisis resources if things ever feel urgent. Informational throughout, not a diagnostic tool.
Includes 6 fill-in worksheets and self-assessments (print version), AI-powered prompts at the end of every chapter, and clickable links to Claude and ChatGPT in the digital version. Available in print (8.5×11, binder-ready) and digital (6×9, phone-optimized) formats. Instant download after purchase.
