How do you go about identifying depression rather than laziness as a reason for your inactivity?

And for other people's inactivity?

Asking those who have the illness and/or have someone who does in their lives

Depression does kill productivity.
I've never been inactive. But when I was depressed, I just wasn't in the mood to do stuff.

You can tell the difference between depressed people and lazy people by their behavior patterns.

Lazy people will always look for other people to do their work for them. And, lazy people are good at making up bullsh!t excuses.
