@dyas I ran it through Google Translate. It's not a perfect platform for translation, but it's pretty reliable.

Here's what came out:

I have experienced four episodes of major depression, and the following symptoms can help confirm whether you are depressed:

1) You lack the will to do practically anything.

2) You cannot sleep without medication, and even then, it is difficult.

3) You lose your appetite and drop some weight, though not a drastic amount.

4) It takes time to recover, but it is possible—though for me, it has taken between one and two years.

5) In my case, I stop reading and listening to music.

It is important to distinguish between reactive depression (triggered by grief, divorce, etc.) and depression as a clinical illness. Of course, this is based on my own experience, and there may be differing opinions.

@dyas - Thanks for caring about understanding @abelmarco's message.

Mayo Clinic Connect translation availability depends on the member's selected language and whether they write in that language. Google Translate would be one potential helpful resource to understand this message.
