Is it possible for depression to effect my school work?!

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

If you suffer from authentic depression, as diagnosed by a medical professional, then it would affect all areas of your life including your work or schoolwork. Depression is overwhelming, and people suffering from depression tend to be using the majority of their mental and physical resources just to cope with the day. That leaves precious little left over for applying to anything that is task orientated.

Most definiately. If you are seeing a significant drop in your grades, you need to go on a medication to help your depression, or seek professional help.

Experience, unfortunately.

Depression will affect spelling..haha..but seriously..it will affect everything you do,because when you`re depressed you don`t really want to do anything...including learning math and history

Depression can Absolutely cause you to have issues with your school work. It happened to me. Once they put me on my new meds, it really did help.
