Depression is a state of mind producing serious, long-term lowering of enjoyment of life or inability to visualize a happy future.
More often a depressed person can be, mistakenly, thought of as lazy or apathetic. A depressed person’s lack of motivation is not the same as laziness.
Laziness is being unwilling to do work or make an effort; disinclined to exertion.
When someone is lazy, they don’t want to do work or do unpleasant tasks, even when they have the energy to do so. They may be motivated just fine, they simply don’t want to exert themselves in any way.
The person who is unmotivated due to depression usually wants to work and do other things, but feels as if they can’t. This is a key difference between laziness and depression
