Depression is a mood disorder characterised by persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest. We all feel upset and sad, but what makes it different from depression is that it is temporary and less intense. Depression has become an overused and an easy term. Before uttering it ever so lightly, take a moment to understand the weight carried by those suffering from depression.
