Most people feel sad or depressed, moody or low from the time at times. It is only a normal reaction to loss or life's struggles. But when intense sadness some people experience these feelings intensely, including feeling helpless, hopeless, and worthless for long periods of time lasts for how many days to weeks or even years and sometimes without any apparent reason and keeps you from living your life, it may be something more than sadness. This kind of illness is more than just a low mood – it's a serious condition that affects your physical and mental health.
Depression is not only a state of being sad, it is a disease that overcomes the ability to feel emotion, whether good or bad, whatsoever. Depression not only involves the mind, it also involves the body and thoughts it can be described in many ways. Its main illustration is that it is a serious mental disorder in which a person sanctions or suffers long periods of sadness, loneliness, and other negative feelings.

A SIMPLE WAY TO HELP
Stephen Fry once said that, If you know someone who's depressed please resolve never ask them why. Depression is not a straight-forward response to any bad situation; depression just is, like the weather. We should try to understand the blackness, lethargy, hopelessness and loneliness they are going through. Be there for them when they come through the other side of the world. It is hard to be a friend to someone who is depressed, but it is one of the kindest, noblest and best of the things you will ever do.
