Hello, in addition to persistent low mood, severe depression commonly manifests with gastrointestinal dysfunction, decreased appetite, weight loss, and fatigue. In more severe cases, suicidal ideation or behaviors—and even acts of harming others—may occur. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with psychological treatment and consider taking antidepressant medications as prescribed. I hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you good health.
