Difference between feeling sad and depression
Feeling sad is a natural emotion that everyone experiences. Everyone has ups and downs in mood. However, depression is extreme sadness and low mood that just does not pass with time. It distorts everything that you see, think, and feel and makes everything in your life seem gloomy and undesirable. Depression robs you of your energy, enjoyment for life, hope, motivation, sleep, and sense of the future. It does not just affect your brain, it affects your body physically, your work and relationships.
“Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness.” — Desmond Tutu
