Absolutely. As I commented elsewhere here, I suffered from a depressive episode after a close friend committed suicide.

The lack of energy is extraordinary and what I experienced must have been mild compared to what others with severe depression suffer from.

Anecdote: a sliding door slipped from its rail because there was no stopper at the end of the rail and it had to be moved back in place. It is neither heavy nor difficult to do it.

I gave up after the first attempt to fix it.

Depression is nothing that I would ever wish on anyone, no matter how much I might hate that person.
