Paraphrase (Major Depressive Disorder)


Original text
Topic : Major depressive disorder (taken from http://www.allaboutdepression.com/dia_03.html)
Different people are affected in different ways by major depression. Some people have trouble sleeping, they lose weight, and they generally feel agitated and irritable. Others may sleep and eat too much and continuously feel worthless and guilty. Still others can function reasonably well at work and put on a "happy face" in front of others, while deep down they feel quite depressed and disinterested in life. There is no one way that people look and behave when they have major depression. However, most people will either have depressed mood or a general loss of interest in activities they once enjoyed, or a combination of both. In addition they will have other physical and mental symptoms that may include fatigue, difficulty with concentration and memory, feelings of hopelessness and helplessness, headaches, body aches, and thoughts of suicide.

Paraphrase text
Different people are affected by major depression in different ways such as having insomnia, weight loss and general feelings of agitation and irritation. Some people show the opposite signs like over hours of sleeping, over eating while continuously feel worthless and guilty. Even so, some people can veil themselves with a happy face in front of people however behind the veil shows their feelings of depress and disinterest in life. Major depression can’t be seen through the eyes alone even though majority will show symptoms either or combination of both depressed mood and general loss of interest in activities they once enjoyed. Furthermore, they will also show symptoms of physical and mental deterioration which may include fatigue, difficulty with concentration and memory, feelings of hopelessness and helplessness, headaches, body aches and thoughts of suicide.
