Losing a loved one, relationship issues, past trauma, moving from one place to another, can all cause a thing we know as depression. Depression is a condition that manifests in various forms. Different from typical sadness, depression can greatly affect how you feel, think, talk, and act. Oftentimes, people know exactly why they have symptoms of depression, but to others it may not be so obvious. Depression causes a person to feel such a deep feeling of unhappiness that they lose interest in situations that used to give them joy, others have even stated that they feel the world around them is gray. Depression mainly causes issues at home, at school or at the workplace and can deeply affect how you function on a day-to-day basis.
Depression is often confused with sadness, or grief, but they are based on different circumstances. Feeling sad or grieving is a normal reaction to hardships that life brings. Sadness and grieving do fade with a short amount of time, but depression tends to stick around. Anxiety is also known to accompany depression, and the symptoms associated with depression.
