Alot of people feel down and upset because of something that's happened. These people get over their worry and continue with their lives. However, when you are depressed you feel down and tires and worthless, and a lot of the time, you dont even know why.
People with depression tend to blame problems on themselves and keep their pain and sadness to themselves.

Sadness is a normal emotion that humans experience and go through. It can last a long time, but it doesn't take up every moment of most days of your life. Sadness can be relieved. There can be positivity. However, depression makes it almost impossible to feel positive, even for a short moment. Depression is constant negativity.

Sadness can be cured by happiness. Depression feels like a constant emptyness inside. Like life doesn't have a purpose. Depression mocks happiness because it doesn't know how to feel happy.

When you are sad, it means you are being upset for a couple of days and youre sadness isnt too strong. When you are depressed it means that you are being really upset for months or years and you're feelings are really strong, you get suicidal thoughts, dont see the point in life or just simply feel like youre lost and everything is black and white for you.

Sadness is a normal human emotion. We’ve all experienced it and we all will again. Sadness is usually triggered by a difficult, hurtful, challenging, or disappointing event, experience, or situation.
Depression is an abnormal emotional state, a mental state that affects our thinking, emotions, perceptions, and behaviors in pervasive and chronic ways. When we’re depressed we feel sad about everything.
