Droopy palm

Hello - I have just been given this palm tree, and it is looking rather sorry for itself. I'm struggling to work out what's wrong as not at all familiar with palms - is this lack of water? Don't want to risk overwatering if its not. 

Any help gratefully received!image

    It's a yucca, specifically yucca elephantipes and it looks as though it has got hot in the window. No amount of watering will compensate for direct sunlight through glass. Wants good light and a little time outside in the warmer months. It'll take any amount of outdoor sunshine, but through glass, nah.

    Thanks very much for the advice!! Will get it away from that window. Hopefully it will perk up again once it's in a better spot.
