Depressed damsel?

[joe____17]

Do fish get depressed?
I asked because a few days ago i got a peppermint shrimp and my damsel seemed fascinated by it always so curious. Then when it died later he hasnt been the same. He would always come to the glass and stay there when i came close or follow me when i went near the tank. Now he just seems so skittish and always hides in a little cave or behind live rock. I checked to see if he was sick but he has no visable signs of any disease i can think of. He eats alright but he seems different. My perimeters are all 0. Ph is 8.2. Salinity is 1.025. Any ideas whats wrong with him?

he could just be a little skittish since there has been a lot going on in the tank: new shrimp put in, shrimp dies, hand/net comes in to get shrimp.
