Depression is a common and serious mental illness that negatively affects how you feel the way you think and how you act. It is a mood disorder. Depression causes feelings of sadness, low self-worth, guilt or a loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed. It can lead to a variety of emotional and physical problems and can decrease your ability to function at work and at home. It differs from simple grief or mourning, which are appropriate emotional responses to the loss of loved persons or objects. Where there are clear grounds for a person’s unhappiness, depression is present if the depressed mood is disproportionately long or severe. Depression can have many causes. Unfavorable life events can increase a person’s vulnerability to depression or trigger a depressive episode. Negative thoughts about oneself and the world are also important in producing and maintaining depressive symptoms.
