Hello practo user
Depression involves symptoms such as low mood, disturbed sleep, low appetite, low interest in any activity and other related symptoms. However the above mentioned symptoms are indicative of depressive mood but needs to be evaluated further for proper diagnosis and treatment. Try consulting a clinical psychologist for the same. Try talking to her and allow her to share her thoughts and feelings and spend more time with her. Try to involve her activities she like to uplift her mood.
