Depression
Everyone can feel sad or blue when bad things happen. However, everyday 'blues' or sadness is not depression. People with the 'blues' may have a short term depressed mood, but they can manage to cope and soon recover without treatment. Depression is a common but serious illness and can be recurrent.
