Symptoms of Depression


Emily: I think Jackson is depressed 1


Shivan: How can you tell? 


Emily: Well, he’s been suffering from a loss of appetite and is generally lethargic 2


Shivan: Have you noticed any other symptoms? 


Emily: He seems to have trouble concentrating and has insomnia 3


Shivan: Um, really? 


Emily: Yes, and I’m afraid he’s having suicidal thoughts. He seems distant and distracted, staring off into space. He’s not his usual self. 


Shivan: How can you tell? 


Emily: What do you mean? 


Shivan: I mean, he looks the same to me. He just swims back and forth 4 in the fish tank. 


Emily: Just look at him. He’s on the edge of mental collapse 5


Shivan: Somebody is.
