Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Decreased slow wave sleep, the deepest stage of sleep, is a symptom of depression. This means that individuals with depression may not be getting enough deep, restorative sleep, which can contribute to feelings of fatigue and lethargy during the day. While choices B, C, and D are all related to sleep, they do not directly relate to depression as a symptom.
