It is very clearly depression. I'm leery of the meds, however. They have a tendency to be highly addictive. Also, the underlying cause might be something else; the depression might be a symptom instead of the root cause. Chronic fatigue syndrome is a real thing. Inflammation, or perhaps aftereffects of some viral infection. Or loneliness. We are social animals, the animal is supposed to be part of a group. Yet we've created this society which worships the idea of the individual.
