Individuals that are suffering from the symptoms of moderate depression will often experience the same types of symptoms that an individual with mild depression suffers from; however, they are generally experienced at a stronger degree. In some cases where individuals suffer from mild depression and it is not taken seriously or not treated by a physician, over a period of time it can turn into a more serious case of depression that would include moderate and even severe depression. Some of the most common warning signs or symptoms of moderate depression would include the following:

• An impaired ability to concentrate on various tasks and responsibilities
• Changes in eating habits. Either eating too much food or not eating enough food to provide the body with adequate amounts of vitamins and minerals it needs to function properly
• Problems in making sound decisions
• Having low levels of self-esteem
• Problems with regular sleeping habits. Either wanting to sleep all the time or not being able to fall asleep
• Low levels of energy
• Suffering from fatigue
• The feelings of helplessness and hopelessness
• Becoming socially withdrawn
• Lack of interest in regular hobbies
