| Learning about depression : Depression is feeling sad, blue, unhappy, or down in the dumps. Most people feel this way once in a while. Clinical depression is a mood disorder. It occurs when feelings of sadness, loss, anger, or frustration persist or get in the way of your life over a long period of time. It also changes how your body works. Depression is caused by changes in the chemicals in your brain. The condition may start during or after a painful event in your life. It may happen when you take certain medicines. It can also start after pregnancy. Sometimes there is no clear trigger or reason. | |
