Before checking himself into the hospital, staff reported that he wasn’t behaving like usual. They said he didn’t banter with aides like usual and was withdrawn. On top of that, he also wasn’t interested in ordinary day-to-day things, such as eating and talking with other people. Instead, he was very withdrawn. Those are signs of depression.
