Sadness is something you feel in response to something that happens. Depression might not be that simple for many people. It can be without a reason, and can last a long time. Someone who is depressed may not even feel sad. Some people with depression feel nothing (anhedonia), or a lack of motivation.

Sadness lasts shorter than depression and it is usually associated with some specific situation while depression lasts at least 2 weeks and it doesn't depend on our situation.

Sadness is something that will come and go but depression is dark and takes a hold of you without your knowledge and consumes you until you seek help.

Sadness is emotion deppression is something deeper. It's like sick. You can't eat, you don't want to talk and you hide in yourself. Sadness is feeling. You can feel it when you suffer for deppression.

Sadness is a feeling you get based on an event. Like if a parent dies, or if you fail an exam. Depression is something you live with, something that is part of you, something that you have to battle on a daily basis. Depression is something deep rooted within yourself that makes you sad.

A sadness will pass, sadness is typically overcome and you can feel happy again relatively quickly (anywhere between a day to a month).
Depression is the constant lack of happiness that comes with feelings of worthlessness, that is generally longer than sadness.

Sadness is feeling low, down, probably mildly over-thinking about something but still not interfere too much with your daily life. Depression is a sensation of numbness, beyond sad, and usually constant. Over-think things to the point where it severely interfere your daily functions
