Just as every person is a unique individual, every case of depression is unique as well.  How a person is affected by depression greatly depends on the person’s ability or inability to cope and the coping mechanisms in which they use.  Abnormal sleeping patterns are one type of the major depression symptoms.  Oversleeping or being unable to sleep are dependent on the coping mechanisms of the individual.  The same can be said about eating.  Overeating or being unable to eat are also dependent on the person suffering from depression.  Symptoms of depression also vary according to age.  A depressed child may become lethargic, be clingy or become moody.  This depends on the child and his or her own coping mechanisms.  The elderly may not be able to think clearly when in a state of depression or they may experience memory loss.  If you have risk factors for depression or exhibit some of these signs you should speak with your health care provider.
