Are there quite a number of teens and young adults who stay in bed and sleep all day due to depression?

Dont they have responsibilities ,such as getting up and going to work , or house chores , or caring for kids?

Or are these people completely debilitated , therefore causing a friend or relative to have to do everything for them?

are you asking a question or judging?of course these people have chores etc...that they need to have done...what do you think depression is?look it up!!!! depression affects everyone in different ways...he** you're depressed and you don't even know it...seriously!!! people that require medications,therapy and other forms of help with their depression are making aware of whats going on in there bodies and want to make them better...the one's that don't get to that level and just try and deal with their depression by their selves,well their are ashamed to admit and get help...so they stay in bed...and cry all day....are you that?anyway.. you're question is worded wrong and you should be ashamed for wording it like this....and another thing you don't know everyone's personal issues that traumatized them to be into a state of depression....depression is a part of life and unfortunately people like us,can't deal with depression like other people can....and we do get the help we need so we can better ourselves and loved one's around us better.depression affects everyone....remember that!!!

It depends on the day they are having. Some days, you just feel like its a godawful day, nothings going to go right, and so you cant move.
Alot of the time, a depressed person has no energy and so they have no strive to get them up and moving. It is very difficult to cure, so dont think that it is their fault for feeling so badly.
It all depends on who the person is, how bad their depression is, and how their day is going, and how they are feeling.

i get episodes of depression when all i do is stay in bed and mope around the house i am 26 years old, female, single and living with my parents.....i have a job but its when i get a day off and i wake up feeling depressed i will just stay in bed.,.....its a weird feeling its not having a lie in feeling...its a black dark feeling and i cannot get out of bed...its a feeling if utter worthlessnes and hoplesness you literally do not have anything iot get up for,,,as you mention no kids, partner or job.,,,these are things that you want ..but you don't have them (in my case i do have a job tho) i only get 1 day off a week usually sundays and half a satuday so if im depressed i will do all this on a sunday or saturday afternoon......it is awful and having nothing to live for or any hope of anything changin keeps you chained into bed...you try to get up but you feel so heavy you literally fall back down again....i force myself to sleep so i don't have to deal with the feelings.....even if i am not tired i will force myself to sleep....other times i feel so tired all i can do is sleep 12-15 hours of the day...i don't recieve any help for my depression and as i said before im usually at work but i do not undersatnd it....you shouldn't judge people if they are depressed...if you had these feelings inflicted upon you...or your lucky enough to have a partner, kids, a home. a job then you have these things that , as you mentioned, GET you out of bed and a reason for living...some people are depressed coz they don't have this and everywhere they look they see everyone else with it (in my case) i just hope you never get struck down with depression..because then you will never need to ask "why" people stay in bed.....you will know you are chained there

Yes, a kid at school missed a week of school and peed in empty bottles because he was too depressed to leave his room. If depression gets bad enough the only thing that seems to make sense it to lay down and wait to die. Some people are just physically and mentally drained and seem to have no choice.

Yeah and I'm sure instead of judging the hell out of them maybe question why b*tch?
