Answer 1

Major depressive disorder

Step-by-step explanation:

I do think that people have their own opinion on the disorder. Some of the symptoms are fatigue, sadness, depression, suicidal, sickness, anxiety, and weigh loss. The disorder may not show on a person or it may look like a person withdrawn from social activities with friends and daily hygiene and possibly even school or work. Treatment for the disorder is therapy whether it be one on one or group therapy. Also nutrition therapy and possibly addiction therapy depending on situation.
