Depression 

Depression is a mental health disorder that can affect the individual’s mood, including how one feels, thinks, and behaves. While one could feel sad sometimes, it is when it starts to affect the ability to perform daily tasks and the ability to enjoy things that typically would bring the individual happiness, that one could be suffering from depression. The symptoms of depression vary from person to person, but often include feeling miserable without a clear reason why, anxiety, agitation, insomnia or sleeping too much, hopelessness, changes in eating, and/or foggy thinking. Depression could also cause recurrent thoughts of death or suicide (or even a wish that it would all 'stop' in an abstract sense).
