Gap year

Is it normal to be depressed on Gap year?

not on a gap year myself however i've heard multiple ppl becoming bored or overly upset during it since they have minimised contact with people then they usually do during the academic year.
why not plan a nice trip with your friends or family? keep urself busy, do one of those fun courses ppl do online? work and get money? idk but a gap year sounds fun! learn a language or learn a new hobby?

however if an event has happened in your life and that's causing ur depression or if your having more intrusive thoughts e.g. suicidal thoughts, i'd suggest talking to ur gp
