Do you (or someone you’re concerned about) really have depression? It's not always easy to tell, especially when there’s a good reason to feel down. Grief, losing a job, or a chronic illness can all cause behaviors that might be mistaken for depression.
Depression is a prison where you are both the suffering prisoner and the cruel jailer.
"Sadness is an emotion, whereas depression is an illness"
You are depresses if;
1. Persistent sad, anxious, or "empty" feelings2. Feelings of hopelessness, worthlessness, or helplessness
3. Frequent crying episodes

7. Difficulty concentrating, remembering details, and making decisions
8. Sleeping too much or not enough

"Depression is like a war,you either win or die trying" OK BYE.
