Introduction

Introduction of Depression Clinical depression is a state of intense unhappiness (sadness/melancholy). The feeling is so severe that it starts affecting the person's day to day life.

Clinical depression is much more serious and leads to constant negative feeling and also sometimes substance abuse.
