What does depression look like?

Depression can look different for everyone, but some outward signs are common. These may include:
  1. Withdrawing from family, friends, and social activities
  2. Noticeable changes in weight or appetite
  3. Difficulty concentrating at work or school
  4. Speaking or moving more slowly than usual
  5. Frequent tearfulness or irritability
Because symptoms are not always obvious, depression is often called an “invisible illness.” In Australia, recognising these signs early is key to supporting loved ones and encouraging them to seek treatment.

If you notice these signs in yourself or someone close to you, reach out for support today.
