To the layperson, the two may appear on the surface to be the same. However, to the trained clinician they are not. One may see Sadness as a response to an adverse outcome, but clinical Depression is much more. Signs of Depression include: sleep disturbances, guilt, loss of interest in all activities, poor appetite and even suicidal ideation. If you have been experiencing any of these symptoms >2 weeks, please reach out for help.
