Is lying down at a place a symptom of depression?
Hello doctor,
I got a bit puzzled with my neighbor's behavior who is about 50 years old and I was hoping you could shine a light on it. Lately, he has been dealing with depression, and I noticed something unusual. There are times when they just lie down in one place, almost like in a coma. It has got me a bit worried. I am not sure if this is a typical part of depression, and I would love to understand more about what might be going on. Can you tell me if this lying-down behavior is a common symptom? Also, should I be concerned about any specific signs or changes as in pupillary response? If there is anything simple I can do to make things a bit brighter for him, I am all ears. Kindly suggest.
Thank you.

Does trouble focusing and overreacting suggest depression?
Hello doctor,
I think I am suffering from depression. I cannot pinpoint the exact moment when the symptoms started but what I feel is I have been betrayed by my friends too much of a time. I have started overreacting to even superficial matters. Matters that could have been completely ignored. For example, I have now developed the habit of shouting at my girlfriend even on the slightest of topics like not picking up my call. After my last professional papers (during which I had a big fight with my roommate which got ugly and I eventually left the flat), I have not even been able to concentrate on my studies. I do love my girlfriend and I really feel that she is being close to me and is having bad of me. I do want to change myself but I am unable to. Currently, I am taking a Finax tablet.
