1111 – 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.
