Warning Signs of Depression
A desire to stay in bed all day is a strong sign of depression. Everyone gets sleepy from time-to-time, but fatigue is not sleepiness; rather, it is a weariness that leads a patient to want to sleep and avoid much else. The Mayo Clinic defines chronic fatigue as long lasting and deeper feelings of this listlessness. According to researchers, fatigue is a highly frequent lasting symptom of depression.
