Worsening function: Depression can present in many ways, but worsening function, irritability, insomnia, negativism, and loss of zest are frequent presenting signs. Also, the omega sign (googl this) where the brow is furrowed between the eye brows is a common sign of depression along with darkening circles under the eyes and lack of fluctuating intonation in the voice, slouched posture. Etc.
