Depression is a condition with the chemicals in the brain. When some of us don't get out enough we get depressed and some need medication. Its also very common to see in young teens since this is a critical time. It sounds to me like you might have depression from the description. The signs normally are sleeping all day or sleeping not at all. Eating habits change. You lose an interest. But the biggest sign is when you change your life pattern or lose interest in your favorite things. I don't encourage anyone to want to be depressed or to feel they need medication to treat it. But sometimes thats the case. If you saw it from your mother than yes that can help contribute to yours but might not be genetic. You might need someone to talk to is all. Someone to rant to
