Symptom #8: Unpleasant Feelings
In disorders such as depression, anxiety, seasonal affective disorder, and other mood disorders, patients may experience unpleasant feelings such as worthlessness, guilt, and helplessness. There is often pessimism as well.
For example, the affected person may feel excessively guilty about a past issue where their conscience blows things out of proportion. This can cause feelings of immense remorse. These unpleasant feelings can lead to suicidal ideation and self-harm. Individuals who experience these issues should seek professional help.
