A member asked:
Is it normal for people with depression to struggle with change and have difficulty adapting?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Yes. When depressed a person may lack the internal reserves to deal with change. It is easier to do rote tasks. They may not have the energy to bring to the table to meet a new challenge. Drive may be low as well as lacking the confidence to make decisions.
