GPT-4o mini · Answer

C. being sad for a while after your friend moves away.

While feelings of sadness can be a normal response to life changes, such as a friend moving away, this experience does not qualify as a risk factor for depression or suicide in the same way that the other options do. The other choices (A, B, and D) are established risk factors for depression and suicidal ideation.
