Task Response

The student provides a relevant and personal answer, demonstrating an understanding of the question. They offer a specific example of when they feel depressed and describe their coping mechanism. However, the answer could be more detailed and elaborate. For example, they could explain what kind of activities they do to relax or how they feel when they are depressed.
