She is super sad, irritable, and withdraws from her friends and family. She usually feels negatively about herself, and has gained weight from mindlessly eating and not moving around as much.

She has very flat affect, and she does not seem interested in doing anything. Nothing brings her joy. Additionally, lately when she is talking, she will be hard to understand because she makes up words (saying: "I'm going to the park to ride the wallywhoop." ).
