"@JohnQPublic: As a specific example, the symptom of "loss of memory, concentration, or decision-making capability" could have a profound affect on her ability to do work, if she had that."

JohnQPublic commented on Depressed Lady Loses Benefits Because Of Her Facebook Photos

"Signs of depression include: * persistently sad, anxious, or empty moods * loss of pleasure in usual activities (anhedonia) * feelings of helplessness, guilt, or worthlessness * crying, hopelessness, or persistent pessimism * fatigue or decreased energy * loss of memory, concentration, or decision-making capability * restlessness, irritability * sleep disturbances * change in appetite or weight * physical symptoms that defy diagnosis and do not respond to treatment (especially pain and gastrointestinal complaints) * thoughts of suicide or death, or suicide attempts * poor self-image or self-esteem (as illustrated, for example, by verbal self-reproach) Even if you assume that this woman did not suffer from "loss of pleasure in usual activities (anhedonia)", there are tons of other symptoms that wouldn't show up in a photograph that could be behind her diagnosis of depression."
