Article Image Depression Affects Your...
--Mood People diagnosed with depression usually feel extremely unhappy most of the day, every day for an extended period of time. They may also experience a lack of interest in activities, even ones they used to enjoy. In addition, many people feel worthless or guilty and may suffer from recurring thoughts of death or suicide. They also might feel generally hopeless and discouraged.

--Mind Depression affects how people think. Many people with depression find that they have trouble thinking, concentrating or making decisions. They may also have extremely negative views about themselves, the world and the future

--Body Depression can also mess with daily physical functions. Some people feel like their movements have slowed down drastically or have been sped up. Other people notice changes in their eating habits, sleeping patterns or sex drive. Depression may even lead to an increase in physical illness because it impairs the immune system, making the body less effective to fight disease.
