Depression is a prolonged form of sadness. The symptoms include feeling ‘down’, irritable, angry, tired and bored (from DSM-5, using the provision for children and adolescents), and these can lead to frequent absences from school, and decreased interest and pleasure in activities. This resultant inactivity tends to make these feelings worse and can keep depression from going away.
