Is frequent night waking a symptom of depression?

It can be: Depression can have many symptoms besides sadness. Trouble sleeping at night is a common symptom of depression. Others are changes in appetite, anxiety, irritability, hopelessness, suicidal thoughts, trouble concentrating. Every depressed person does not have all these symptoms. If you think you are depressed please see your doctor for treatment. Meds, exercise and counseling can all help.
