Depression doesn’t discriminate. It impacts both men and women, and the symptoms are often the same. However, studies have shown that women are more likely to be diagnosed with depression.

If a person is so depressed that they are not enjoying things they used to, they may also lose their appetite. This can lead to unintentional weight loss. Unfortunately, this is not usually a healthy weight loss, because the person may not be getting proper nutrition, which can cause depression to worsen.

You know something isn’t quite right, but you don’t fit the stereotypical mold of depression. It’s possible that you have something called high-functioning depression.
