why do depressed people tend to sleep a lot?
In: Biology
I once read a master thesis on depression and suicidal tendencies. the author describes depression as “a wound that leaks energy”, as in mental and physical energy. this means that depressed people have little to no energy to do anything. this is why they sleep so much and have a hard time doing even small tasks such as toothbrushing and bathing.
as someone that dealt with depression for most of my life I can attest that it does correlate with lack of energy.
