Answer #2

People react to depression differently; in some cases you may begin to eat MORE or eat LESS. Because of this, you may gain weight durastically, vice versa. Disturbing thoughts such as suicide may be thought. You may feel tired and drowsy most of the day, and a loss of energy can be felt. You have a hard time making decisions, thinking, etc… and feel as though you don’t have a purpose in this world.

If you are suffering from depression, I suggest seek help immediatley. If not treated, your case can become worse, and lead to fatal activities and behaviors
