Depression is a position that can take many forms, from the short lived feelings of sadness that most of us suffer in response to disappointments of everyday life, right up to severe depressive disorders, which have need of treatment.
A depressive sickness is an overpowering feeling which dulls thinking, impairs awareness, saps energy, interest in food, sex, work and everyday activities and disturbs sleep.
Depression is a common mental disorder which, manifests itself in the form of depressed mood, a loss of enjoyment of living, low self esteem, inability to sleep properly, loss of appetite, low levels of energy, and poor concentration. It can affect people of all ages and from all backgrounds.
Some experience severe symptoms and are unable to function day to day and fatalities account for about eight hundred and fifty thousand lives yearly. In our life we all go through ups and downs in our mood. Sadness is a normal reaction to life’s struggles, setbacks, and dissatisfactions.
The word depression has used to explain these kinds of feelings, but depression is much more than just sadness. For many people depression is living in a black hole or having a feeling of impending doom. On the other hand, some depressed people do not feel sad at all instead; they feel lifeless, blank, and apathetic.
Whatever the symptoms, depression is different from normal sadness in that it swallow up your day-to-day life, interfering with your ability to work, study, eat, sleep, and have fun. The feelings of helplessness, hopelessness, and worthlessness are intense when you are depressed.
