While there are many forms and levels of severity in depression, one thing is for sure.

But, what are some signs that a person you love, or maybe even yourself, is suffering from depression? There are many things that you can look for. Some basic things are listed here.

Does the person seem to be pulling away from close friends and relatives?
Does the person feel isolated, hurt, and alone?
