Depression

Depression can be described as feeling sad, miserable or down in the dumps. Most people feel that way at one point in their lives for short periods of time. However, true clinical depression is a mood disorder where feelings of sadness, loss, anger or frustration interfere with everyday life for weeks or longer.
