YES

Explanation:

depression makes you feel like there’s no point in doing anything. For example you could want to go on a walk then think “what’s the point. I’m wasting time, and I’m not getting anything out of it, we’re all going to die, there’s no point.” He would be less proactive with things like that. He would be mostly careless about decisions because we’re all going to die, and there’s no point of doing anything.
