Dear Hunbbel Meer,
I have a close relative if i analyze all the 12 symptoms exists in him.But we are trying to treat him with our love and support. any way good information keep it up voted useful.
If you are pretty sure that he is suffering from a depression disorder, then I will highly recommend you to make him pay a visit to a trusted doctor. Treatment along with compassion and love will help him/her more. The disorder is always treated best in its early stages. So, better late than never, best of luck.

Great hub for signs of depression Hunbbel ... personally I don't like the "D" word. I prefer to use the "B" word for Blues... it sounds less depressing which makes for a better chance of bouncing back quicker. Just my way of playing mind games :))

This is very useful information on the sign and symptoms of depression.
One of the side effects from the drugs used for depression is suicide.
I think it is important that the person is diagnosed properly. Doctors are too quick to prescribe medication.
