Hot flashes are not typically listed as a direct symptom of depression. The common symptoms of depression include:

- Changes in mood, feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or anxiety
- Sleep changes (insomnia or sleeping too much)
- Appetite or weight changes
- Fatigue and low energy
- Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
- Loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed
- Physical symptoms like headaches, cramps, or unexplained aches and pains

However, depression can cause various physical symptoms that affect your body in different ways. If you're experiencing hot flashes along with other symptoms of depression, it's worth discussing with your healthcare provider. They can help determine whether these symptoms are related to depression, another condition, or possibly a side effect of medication.

Sometimes physical symptoms that seem unrelated can be connected to your mental health, so it's always best to get a professional evaluation.
