Most patients can persist in work and study, but they obviously lack initiative and aggressiveness. They will also feel a decrease in memory and attention, a slow thinking reaction, and find it difficult to keep up with the work and study progress of others, and have the experience of just getting by.

4. Unexplained physical discomfort: Patients with mild depression are often accompanied by a variety of physical symptoms, such as back pain, limb pain, low back pain, etc., but the cause is unknown and the hospital examination cannot find any organic lesions. In some cases, there may be unexplained abdominal distension, diarrhea, anorexia, nausea and stomach discomfort, or unexplained panic, heart palpitations, and discomfort involving all systems and organs in the body. Although various examinations show no abnormalities, the patient will be suspicious, especially suspecting that he or she has a serious illness, and repeated physical examinations are difficult to dispel his doubts.

Feeling that life is meaningless: Some patients with mild depression often feel that life is boring, sighing all day long, or feeling wronged, crying easily, and even having repeated suicidal thoughts and behaviors. Some patients may have a mild sense of worthlessness, believing that they have not made any contribution to society, family, relatives and friends, and thus develop useless self-blame. They have no confidence in themselves and in life, hate participating in group activities, and prefer to be alone.
