In medical terms, depression is referred to as a psychological disorder characterized by insidious low mood, inability to experience pleasure, and lessened interest on different activities.
Depression is usually temporary, but it can greatly affect one's personal behavior.
It can affect your work attitude, family life, sleep, eating habits, and your general health. Even your personal outlook and ability to lead a great life is affected.
Depression can be a life-long disorder. It may happen suddenly or it can occur gradually, oftentimes lasting for a few months.
