Some people use the word "depression" to express sadness but they aren't exactly the same (you may be sad and not depressed but if you're depressed, you'll be sad) and because of this misconception, many people erroneously think depression is something you can wish away or snap out of. This is not the case.

Clinical depression is a mental health condition that requires therapeutic intervention - you can't just snap out of it, you have to consult a mental health professional for clinical aid.

Check this document👆🏽for quick information on clinical depression and if you/your loved one persistently experience/experiences five (5) or more of the symptoms during same 2-week period (at least one of the symptoms is either loss of interest/pleasure or depressed mood), which constitute a change from your/your loved one's previous functioning, please seek professional help asap.
