What is the difference between depression and laziness?
So, if someone is not motivated to do anything, how can we tell if it's depression or just laziness?
That can be difficult to determine without a professional diagnosis. Depression often has symptoms like persistent sadness, lack of interest in activities, feelings of guilt or worthlessness, and changes in sleep and appetite. Laziness may just be a temporary lack of motivation, and the person may still be able to find enjoyment in activities once they begin.
