Is depression the same for everyone, or can it be different?

Depression is the same for certain people, though usually it depends on why it's caused. For example someone may be depressed over a breakup, while someone else maybe depressed over family stress.

No! Depression can be different for everyone. It causes the same moods and feelings but can affect everyone in a different way.

Depression...... Of course it can be different .... Because everyone has different cause so then they have different kind of depression ....

Depression comes in various forms, which is why there isn't one single way to treat, or even 'cure' it. So, as with any situation, it's important to focus on the individual suffering from depression themselves, and find specific ways to help that are in their best interest.

Generally it is the same for everyone but people show it differently and it affects them differently, so it looks different.

Depression can mean different things, depending on the situation. Depression comes in a lot of forms, and it varies in different meanings.

Depression can manifest differently for different people, and this especially depends on how people choose to face or ignore it. Some wallow in it, some suck it up, some pretend to be cheerful, and some partake in self-destructive behaviors. Because of this, it can be really hard to tell based on a person's demeanor if they are depressed or not, because they may experience depression differently from how you do.

I believe, each person can be depressed to a certain extent, but it cannot be the same for everyone, even each person could be depressed in different levels, it depends on why he or she is depressed.

It's different for everyone, I think there are levels if depression, some are just sad or upset then there are those who are suicidal, I know, I was one. But just because on'e just sad that doesn't mean he doesn't need a hug.

Although many of the feelings and symptoms of depression may be very similar for everyone, going through depression is also very much an individual experience. No one else is in your exact personal circumstances. When you combine that with many factors like genes, personal history and treatments, depression is definitely a slightly different experience for everyone.
