Jul 15, 2019 at 4:59 comment added Jason Bassford I would have been fine if you had just used depression (or despondency) in its everyday use rather than trying to force some kind of clinical diagnosis on it. Turning it into something specifically medical is dangerous. It's fine to say you're feeling depressed. It's something altogether different to say that you suffer from clinical depression.
Jul 14, 2019 at 15:30 comment added Andrew I think it's unfair to attempt a clinical diagnosis of the behavior described, especially a diagnosis that doesn't take cultural differences into account. At best this answer is a possible adjective for the behavior, but does not really answer the question. At worst it's inaccurate and misleading.
