Depression is easier: to notice than signs of self injury. With depression, a person becomes more withdrawn, moody, lacks interest in things they loved before, they may lose weight, have no appetite, sleep a lot more or have insomnia. When some1 starts injuring themselves, they tend 2try 2hide it under their clothes. In the summer they might wear long sleeved shirts and pants, in the winter, this could go unnoticed.
