Feeling depressed or sad can be a normal reaction to life's struggles, loss, or an injured self-esteem. This is our brain 'telling us' that there is something wrong. But if the brain 'keeps telling' that there is something wrong, while objectively, there isn't, it may be clinical depression. A very serious but also a very treatable medical condition.
To summarize what depression is in one sentence:
Feelings of intense sadness, hopelessness, worthlessness or helplessness that last for more than days, weeks or even months.
About 5 in 100 adults have depression yearly. Sometimes it will last for just a couple of weeks. However, 1 in 4 woman and 1 in 10 men will get an episode of depression serious enough that requires treatment.
