Feeling of Hopelessness
Depression affects how an individual feels about life as a whole. One of the commonest symptoms of depression is having a hopeless outlook about issues in life. Hopelessness is an emotion that contributes to a low mood and may adversely affect one’s self-perception.
Generally, feeling hopeless is linked to loss of interest in hobbies or important activities and people. Individuals who have a hopeless outlook on life don’t value things that they found previously important.
