10. Changes in Perception
Depression is a personal and internal struggle, but it also affect the way you perceive your surroundings. Not only will your mood affect your interactions and interests, but it can also quite literally color your world.
When you’re depressed, all your senses can suffer. For many, colors will appear dull or lifeless and sounds may seem muffled or muted.
However, if you’ve been living in a depressed state for a while, you won’t notice that your perception has been damaged. Only when you begin treatment will you realize that colors, sounds, tastes and feelings are much more vital and pronounced than you had thought.
