Sadness or Depression

www.drmichaelm...
Everyone gets sad, and there are loads of examples of reasons why. You fail and exam, you lose a loved one, you get dumped by the love of your life. Grieving, crying and feeling terrible in these kinds of situations is perfectly normal. Sadness is a typical reaction and a healthy part of the emotional process
The difference between sadness and depression can be easy to miss, especially when you consider the number of people who misuse the word “depression” or say, “I’m depressed” to describe the everyday “blues.” But sadness is not a depressive disorder
Rather, sadness is just one of the symptoms of depression. And sometimes it isn’t one of them at all
