Depressed people feel unworthy and have recurrent thoughts of death..


2. Anxiety. Like depression, anxiety is a normal aspect of our lives. Anxiety even helps us prepare ourselves during trying times by giving us more energy and making us more alert.

Insomnia can be caused by different factors such as noisy environment, uncomfortable temperature, change in sleeping environment, physical pain or illness, and stress. Depression and anxiety can also cause depression but it can also occur alone.

These symptoms can cause lack of energy during the day, inability to concentrate, poor body coordination, and irritability. .
