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

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

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

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.

Depression has many common symptoms but it affects each person differently! What is the same for everyone is that it is a feeling that no one ever wants!

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

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.

The basics like : being tired, no energy, no healthy sleeping schedule, etc are most of the time the same. But how you feel and how you handle things are different with every person.

I think this is an interesting question because the experience of depression is different for everyone but it's got a common element of pain. Pain is relative, and our perception of that pain alters the way we feel it, see it, acknowledge it, understand it, process it, and act on it. The experience is different for everyone because it's so unique to our lives, it reflects the pain that we've experienced and the fear we feed it. The experience of depression is different for everyone, but pain is a fundamental, and key element to its commonality.

Depression, just like any other mental illness, is never the same for everyone. The way we deal with issues and emotions is a big part of your personality. We all struggle in different ways. At the end of the day, it's not about the feeling itself, but about how it affects the person.

It can be very different. In my case I am usually able to throw on a smile and pretend everything is okay (which is not something you should do, if you are depressed tell someone and get help) but in others they could not get out of bed for days or be very distant but still do things. It also doesn't feel the same for everyone. Some people with depression are sad, some don't feel anything and some just feel lonely. It all depends on who you are and your surroundings.
