I think you mean the word depression. Depression is a more serious form of sadness. Virtually everyone gets depression sometime in their lifetime. However clinical depression is a serious mental illness. Its caused mostly by environmental factors but also genetics, biological and psychological play a role. These are all the signs :

Persistent sad, anxious, or "empty" feelings

Feelings of hopelessness or pessimism

Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, or helplessness

Irritability, restlessness

Loss of interest in activities or hobbies once pleasurable, including sex

Fatigue and decreased energy

Difficulty concentrating, remembering details, and making decisions

Insomnia, early-morning wakefulness, or excessive sleeping

Overeating, or appetite loss

Thoughts of suicide, suicide attempts

There is medication available but it's something to do more research on as there are many terrible side effects. Tcourse. is the best method for depression and we have many methods of therapy to use on depression. But there are screening tools online that you can look into as a reference to see where you're at in your mental health and then you can talk to your doctor and have a honest discussion with them about your mental health. There are different levels of depression of course. The sooner you see that there is a problem the sooner you can deal with it. There is so much to depression I encourage you to do the research and to look into your life to see options of improving your well being. We got lots of people here that have depression and people that care. I know the website can be confusing at first but I think you will get the hang of it. If you have anymore questions you can just PM me or ask around. Hope you take care of yourself.

To Help Yourself

Do not wait too long to get evaluated or treated. There is research showing the longer one waits, the greater the impairment can be down the road. Try to see a professional as soon as possible.

Try to be active and exercise. Go to a movie, a ballgame, or another event or activity that you once enjoyed.

Set realistic goals for yourself.

Break up large tasks into small ones, set some priorities and do what you can as you can.

Try to spend time with other people and confide in a trusted friend or relative. Try not to isolate yourself, and let others help you.
