Depression causes feelings of sadness and/or a loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed. It can lead to a variety of emotional and physical problems and can decrease your ability to function at work and at home.
.....Depression symptoms can vary from mild to severe and can include:
⚇Feeling sad or having a depressed mood

Depression affects an estimated one in 15 adults (6.7%) in any given year. And one in six people (16.6%) will experience depression at some time in their life. Depression can occur at any time, but on average, first appears during the late teens to mid-20s. Women are more likely than men to experience depression. Some studies show that one-third of women will experience a major depressive episode in their lifetime. There is a high degree of heritability (approximately 40%) when first-degree relatives (parents/children/siblings) have depression.
But being sad is not the same as having depression. The grieving process is natural and unique to each individual and shares some of the same features of depression. Both grief and depression may involve intense sadness and withdrawal from usual activities. They are also different in important ways:
1.In grief, painful feelings come in waves, often intermixed with positive memories of the deceased.
2.In major depression, mood and/or interest (pleasure) are decreased for most of two weeks.
3.In grief, self-esteem is usually maintained. In major depression, feelings of worthlessness and self-loathing are common.
4.In grief, thoughts of death may surface when thinking of or fantasizing about "joining" the deceased loved one.
5.In major depression, thoughts are focused on ending one's life due to feeling worthless or undeserving of living or being unable to cope with the pain of depression.
Are depression and sadness same thing??
Depression and sadness are linked but are not the same. Sadness is an emotion that everyone experiences, often after stressful or upsetting life events. Depression is an overpowering and ongoing mental health disorder that can drastically impact on daily living.
