Sign 15. Increased Sensitivity to Rejection or Criticism
Women experiencing depression may become more sensitive to rejection or criticism. They may take negative feedback to heart, leading to feelings of worthlessness and guilt. This increased sensitivity can make it difficult to navigate relationships and may cause women to avoid situations where they may face rejection or criticism.
It is important to recognize this heightened sensitivity as a potential sign of depression. Mental health professionals can help women develop coping strategies to handle rejection and criticism more effectively, allowing them to build resilience and maintain healthier relationships.
