What is depression and 'clinical' depression?

Depression is one of the most common mental illnesses which over 9 million people suffer from every year. This number is said to be even higher considering a lot of people do not get treated for depression. Depression is persistent and is more than just a temporary state of mind of feeling blue.

Clinical depression affects thoughts, feelings, and actions preventing a person to funtion the way they used to. The symptoms of being depressed are having a loss of interests in activities, loss of energy, insomnia, persistent trouble concentrating, changes in appetite, and thoughts of suicide. The exact cause of depression is unknown, however, a factor involved is a chemical imbalance in the brain that can normally be corrected or helped with the use of an anti-depressant medicine.
