Answer:
Just remember that this requires a medical diagnosis.
Depression can be described as an emotional pain associated with or characterized by feelings of disadvantage, loss, despair, grief, helplessness, disappointment, and sorrow. An individual experiencing depression may become quiet or lethargic and withdraw from others. This condition usually includes the symptoms of overeating/not wanting to eat or oversleeping/difficulty sleeping. People with this condition may be there because of an overwhelming situation/trauma. Either way, I've been there, so I know something for sure: If you identify with those symptoms, remember to consult a psychologist and don't rush to a self-diagnose.
