Often people who are depressed show little emotional\u00a0expression.\u00a0
Other times, they show too much.\u00a0
They can be suddenly irritable or explosive.\u00a0
Anger, sadness, anxiety, and fear are just some of the\u00a0emotions a person may have.
If a person who is usually flat with their feelings becomes\u00a0hyperemotional, depression may be the cause.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Self-neglect can be a sign of depression and low self-esteem.\u00a0
Get help for your depression and you'll likely begin to take\u00a0care of yourself again.\u00a0
Poor personal hygiene, poor household maintenance,\u00a0unwillingness to take medication or treat illness or injury are\u00a0all signs of depression.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n![\"A](\"https:\/\/www.healthvectors.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/man-smoking-cannabis.jpg\")

Smoking and depression is a vicious cycle.\u00a0
Studies have suggested that smoking makes people more\u00a0depressed, and depression makes people turn to smoking\u00a0\u2014 smoking and depression may perpetuate each other.

Research has shown that compulsive shopping behavior\u00a0is often accompanied by depression, anxiety, and other\u00a0negative emotions.\u00a0
People affected by compulsive shopping disorder often\u00a0report an uncomfortable tension that is relieved, at least\u00a0temporarily, by shopping.\u00a0
But \"retail therapy\" is a short-lived high because it\u00a0doesn't address underlying depression.

When someone's depressed it might trigger a period of\u00a0binge eating.\u00a0
A person might feel a sense of release or relief during a\u00a0binge but experience feelings of shame or loss of control\u00a0afterward.\u00a0
Treating depression can help treat problems with eating\u00a0and self-esteem, body image and mental health.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n![\"A](\"https:\/\/www.healthvectors.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/playing-board-game.jpg\")

People who gamble can relate to the idea that they get\u00a0excited when they win and disappointed when they lose.\u00a0
Many people use gambling as an escape from negative\u00a0feelings and need to gamble to feel excitement.\u00a0
When someone has a gambling problem, they may feel\u00a0depressed, as well as shame and guilt.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Alcohol use disorder and depression are two conditions\u00a0that often occur together.\u00a0
One can make the other worse in a cycle that's pervasive\u00a0and problematic.\u00a0
Treating both alcohol misuse and depression can make\u00a0both conditions better.\u00a0
As one improves, symptoms of the other improve, too.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Depression has been linked to\u00a0memory problems, such\u00a0as forgetfulness or confusion.\u00a0
It can also make it difficult to focus on work or other\u00a0tasks, make decisions, or think clearly.\u00a0
Depression is associated with short-term memory loss.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Body aches are a common symptom of depression, and\u00a0research has shown that people with severe depression feel\u00a0pain more intensely than others.\u00a0
Depression itself can cause the kind of fatigue that prevents\u00a0you from exercising which in turn puts added stresses on\u00a0the joints and ligaments in your back.

People who spend a lot of time on the Internet are more\u00a0likely to show depressive symptoms.\u00a0
People who overuse the Internet tend to spend their time\u00a0on pornography, online community, and game sites.\u00a0
This type of addictive surfing can have a serious impact on\u00a0mental health.
