> Turns out there's an overlap between certain symptoms of depression and being madly in love Such as? I'm having a hard time coming up with any.

  Two that come to mind are trouble sleeping and lack of concentration, plus maybe social withdrawal (at least from most friendships). But still, seems like a stretch; most depression symptoms are pretty unambiguously negative.

    Yeah. I'm a doctor and I've never heard a similar description of symptoms from a depressed individual and an individual in love. My guess is the wording in the quiz was poor.

      I can't recall the details, but it were things like lack of appetite, lack of sleep, unfocused or lack of attention. I recall the that the questions made sense given the goal of the quiz, but the questions were probably too broad and, which was kinda my point, they lacked control questions to rule out other causes for those effects.
