Depression

What Is Depression?

Depression is a mood disorder that causes a persistent state of sadness and loss of interest in previously enjoyed activities.

Everyday events can negatively affect the mood of people. A person who feels sad about everyday events may feel good again with positive developments, but people with depression do not feel better due to the events. For this reason, it is a wrong approach to conceptualize all daily sadness or short-term pessimism as depression.
