We all feel a little down sometimes.
It's normal to temporarily have the blues such as when we experience a significant loss or change in our life.
But depression is more than just going through a rough patch and feeling sad.
Depression usually includes feelings of sadness, but it's not the same.
When you're feeling normal sadness due to a life event, you can continue to function, and you'll feel better with time.
