It’s very normal for people with severe acne to feel down and
despondent; even mild acne can give you the blues. However, if
you or someone in your family is feeling unhappy more often and
doesn’t seem to enjoy anything anymore, you need to consider the
possibility that you or that person may be suffering from depres-
sion. Here are some of the signs of depression:
Increased fatigue, low energy
Feelings of pessimism
Loss of enjoyment in things that previously gave pleasure
Crying spells
Sleep disturbances
Hating to get out of bed
Social isolation
Loss of appetite or the opposite
Lots of new physical complaints
Decrease in sexual drive
Irritability, anger, or aggressiveness
Feelings of worthlessness and guilt
Withdraw from family and friends
Suicidal thoughts
If one or more of these descriptions rings a bell, talk to your doctor
about it. If you or your loved one is having suicidal thoughts, seek
immediate evaluation and treatment.
