People experiencing depression may feel which of the following?

Increased enthusiasm towards life
Apathy and lack of interest
Strong emotions and concerns
Heightened motivation to succeed

The correct answer is: Apathy and lack of interest

Individuals experiencing depression often exhibit symptoms characterized by apathy and a lack of interest in activities or aspects of life they previously enjoyed. This emotional dullness can lead to significant disengagement from social activities, hobbies, and even relationships. Depression can create an overwhelming sense of fatigue and disinterest, making it difficult for individuals to find joy or motivation. In contrast, the other options suggest positive emotional states or elevated motivation, which are not typically associated with depression. People with depression usually do not feel increased enthusiasm, strong emotions, or heightened motivation; instead, they often struggle with feelings of emptiness, emotional numbness, and a pervasive sense of hopelessness. Understanding these emotional features is crucial in identifying and supporting those who may be experiencing depression.
