Symptoms of Depression

Emily: I think Jackson is depressed. 

Shivan: How can you tell? 

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

Shivan: Have you noticed any other symptoms? 

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

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 in the fish tank. 

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

Shivan: Somebody is.
