Depression is different for everyone. It is largely related to the way that we view the world and our experiences with it. So, the experience of depression is as unique and individual as the person experiencing it.

It's definitely different for everyone. Yes, sometimes we could share feelings and thoughts, but we never experience depression the same way. Depression has a very wide of range of severity. Not all symptoms of clinical depression has to be in the person to be considered depressed. And how we deal with depression also differ so in the end our whole experience of being depressed is totally different.

It can definitely be different for everyone. Some people that have depression find it crippling and unbearable, while others find it a nuisance at worst. Everyone has a different cause of their depression, and therefore treatment is different for everyone. Some find therapy helps, while others benefit from medications. Most people find an effective balance between therapy and medications can lift their depressive symptoms enough to live normal happy lives!

Saying depression is the same for everyone is like saying everyone's finger print is identical. Depression metabolizes differently in everyone. It could be due to work, Family, money or even your looks. There is no simple cure all or fix to depression because no two cases are the same.

For every individual depression will be totally different. Apart from the obvious few bits which most people will suffer, you may have different triggers, different severity of it, different ways of coping. When you have depression, it's all about YOU. And you shouldn't focus on anyone else if you are trying to get better - do what works for you.

Depression can be different for every person based on your own personal situation and feelings. However, some people may have similar symptoms and side-effects of depression as you. It is uncommon for two people to handle depression the exact same way.
