Sadness bored or depression

How can we tell which one we’re suffering from?

If it affects your daily activities and makes you less functional…and lasts uncommonly long…it is depression.

Speak to a doctor and explain! Most people with depression can tell the difference between how they feel when suffering depressive low mood and how just feeling sad. Best indicator of it affects your day and seems to have no obvious cause

I am thinking if persistent boredom causes sadness, and persistent sadness causes depression. Just my assumption.

I have a difficult time differentiating between depression and Negative symptoms of SZ - anhedonia.

I suffer from lack of pleasure, lack of motivation, being a bit “flat”.

I dont know why I am this way, but it is very frustrating - it’s basically turning me into a vegetable.

Sorry to hear that :corn::sweet_potato::hot_pepper::eggplant:
If you think it’s side effects talk to your doctor as they might be able to explain or understand better
Unfortunately it’s quite hard for us to help as everyone describes emotions differently for some people feeling low is just a bit tired where as others describe low as can hardly get out of bed
