Depression is a clinical term used by psychiatrists to describe a period of time when a person feels very sad to the point of feeling worthless, hopeless and helpless. Everyone experiences unhappiness at some time in his or her life, and many people may become depressed temporarily when things do not go as they would like.
When a depressed mood persists however, and begins to interfere with everyday living, it may be the sign of a serious state of depression that requires professional help.
