What’s the difference between being depressed and being sad or unhappy?
But depression is an illness. It’s not the same thing as being sad or unhappy, although those may be symptoms of depression.
Life happens, there are stresses in life and there are challenges in life, And on a daily basis, there are things that can make our mood go up, or that can make our mood go down.
Sadness or a low mood is not always an inappropriate response. There are many situations, events and stressors in life that might make someone feel those emotions as they cope with a setback or a loss. This type of understandable reaction is not usually cause for worry and it becomes a cause for concern when these feelings don’t go away.
