Depression (major depressive disorder) is a treatable, common, and serious medical illness that negatively affects how you feel, the way you think and how you act.

Depression Is different from sadness or grief/bereavement. The death of a loved one, loss of a job or the ending of a relationship are difficult experiences for a person to endure. It is normal for feelings of sadness or grief to develop in response to such situations. Those experiencing loss often might describe themselves as being “depressed.” Being sad is not the same as having depression. Both grief and depression may involve intense sadness and withdrawal from usual activities. They are also different in important ways:

• Grief includes feelings of positive memories of the thing or person lost.

• Major depression involves positive thoughts and interest in things decreasing.

• Grief maintains some sense of self-esteem during the process.

• Major depression can include feelings of worthlessness and self-loathing. These are common affects of depression.

• Grief may bring about thoughts of ending a persons own life to regain that which was lost (joining a dead loved one).

• Major depression can include thoughts of ending a persons own life because they feel worthless, undeserving of life, or feel powerless to cope with their pain in depression.
