Is there a slight difference in the way they look when they are depressed? Characteristics of depression patients?

I have a friend around me who is experiencing depression, and I have some feelings and observations about seeing that friend.

 

First of all, that friend's gaze feels different from before.

 

It feels like something is sinking deep, as if gazing blankly into the distant place.

 

It used to be a lively and vibrant gaze, but now,

 

Now, it seems like you've lost some vitality and look exhausted.

Do people experiencing depression have a different look in their eyes from depression?

 

Or am I overreacting and being too sensitive?

 

Also, I can sense a change in that friend's behavior.

 

He used to smile often and tell jokes well, but now...

 

I hardly see that kind of behavior anymore.

Even when talking, my emotional expressions have decreased, and I don't seem to show interest in any topic.

 

No matter what I say, the response is minimal, and I feel a sense of emptiness.

 

Watching these changes, I also feel worried.

 

On the other hand, I feel frustrated because I don't know how I can help.

I am curious if there are common characteristics that appear in people experiencing depression.

 

I'm 고민ing about what I can do for my friend and how I should approach it.

 

You can't diagnose depression solely based on a person's gaze or behavior, but

 

Can small changes like that help us better understand a friend's condition?

 

I want to be careful so that I don't do anything harmful to my friend, but I don't know what to do.

 

I want to know about the gaze of depression, as well as other types of depressive gazes.
