What is depression/ Symptoms TW: mentions suicidal thoughts Mental Illness Talks

I’ve been searching for a long time for an episode that can explain to me what I am feeling and how I can help myself. I hope I can help someone with this episode. Today’s episode is all about depression and what symptoms come with it. If you think you may hurt yourself or attempt suicide, call 911 or your local emergency number immediately.

Also consider these options if you're having suicidal thoughts:

Call your doctor or mental health professional.
Call a suicide hotline number — in the U.S., call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (1-800-273-8255). Use that same number and press "1" to reach the Veterans Crisis Line.
Reach out to a close friend or loved one.
Contact a minister, spiritual leader or someone else in your faith community.
