'Firstly, not being intrigued by things that you're ordinarily intrigued by, for instance not joining in social exercises and interests or even not having the capacity to head off to work - withdrawing from your life a tad bit.' 

'The second thing is sadness. When you're feeling quite low and sad and saying things like, 'I can't see the focus any longer,' then that is an alternate sign to watch out for.'

Murphy says: 'If its preventing you from doing the things that you regularly would be doing or when you feel low for two weeks ceaselessly, then we prescribe contemplating getting backing.' 

In the event that then again you feel blue in the wake of getting some awful news or for no explanation for why specifically, however the emotions improve or don't keep going then you're presumably simply experiencing an ordinary unpleasant patch.
