6 Surprising Signs of Depression
You’re slower than usual.
According to an OWN contribution to the Huffington Post, you may not be as quite as spry in the workplace if you’re depressed. Plus, routine work tasks might seem tougher than usual, and you may just move slower in general.
Healthy Place equates this to a type of “brain fog.” In the wake of depression, we may speak slower and struggle to understand information that we’re given. This can interfere with normal function.
Colors aren’t as vivid as they once were.
According to Psych Central, there may be truth to the belief that a depressed world looks gray and bland. German researchers found that depressed patients experienced a lesser degree of sensitivity to contrast in the retina, which shows that changes do occur with depression.
Generally speaking, this can make the world look less vivid. And when depression lifts, patients are shocked as to how different things appear. "Most people state how the quality of colors or music change for them after treatment," Gabriela Cora, M.D., managing partner of the Florida Neuroscience Center and a diplomate of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, tells Everyday Health. "They'll say, 'Is this a new picture in your office? I love the bright colors!' or 'I love music again. I can appreciate the beauty of it!'"
