Depression Early Warning Signs Worksheet

Depression often develops gradually, with subtle changes appearing before symptoms become more severe. Learning to recognise these early warning signs can help you respond sooner, reduce the impact of worsening symptoms and support long term relapse prevention.

This printable CBT worksheet helps you identify early changes in mood, thinking, behaviour, physical functioning and energy levels. It also explores situations that increase vulnerability and encourages reflection on the warning signs that are most important to monitor over time.
