People with depression may withdraw from social situations, avoiding friends, family, or other activities they once enjoyed. This social withdrawal can be a result of various factors, such as a lack of interest in activities, feelings of worthlessness, or fatigue.

Re-establishing social connections and support networks is a crucial aspect of managing depression. Discussing your feelings of social withdrawal with a mental health professional can help you develop strategies for gradually reintegrating into social situations and rebuilding connections with others.
