You can also find this in the DSM 5 book. Also use the feeling chart to describe and give a percent on how you feel, for example, 1-10. One being a low point, an eight being a high point of feeling being depressed. A person just needs a little help from depression so it can be manageable. Signs are these episodes, symptoms occur most of the day, every couple of days and may include:³

Feelings of sadness, tearfulness, emptiness, or hopelessness

Angry outbursts, irritability or frustration, even over small matters

Loss of interest or pleasure in most or all normal activities, such as sex, hobbies, or sports
