How do you know when you are depressed? How exactly can you distinguish a state of depression from the state of being sad and lethargic?

There are certain types of depression, some are short term due to situational circumstances; such as the death of a loved one; being told you have an illness; a break up in a relationship, etc. These are usually short term, and it is normal to feel "blue" in these circumstances, and in time an individual will usually get better on their own.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
