What is Depression? How is it different from sadness?
Sadness is a normal part of our emotional experience. Especially in response to a sad event, it is normal for people to feel down, melancholy, or have “the blues.” However, sometimes sadness can persist for extensive periods and seem to be drastically disproportionate to a triggering event. If these low moods continue for more than a couple of weeks, and interfere with your daily life, it may be a clinically significant depressive episode.
