What is clinical depression?

The term clinical depression refers to any depression that requires some form of treatment. It is normal for people to feel depressed when something bad happens, such as the death of a loved one. This type of depression normally goes away after a couple of weeks; but sometimes it persists. It can last for periods of six months or more, and then it is classified as clinical depression.

You've Answered "What Is Clinical Depression?" , Well What Causes it?

There has been debate between neurobiologists and psychologists on what causes depression - neurochemical imbalances or unfortunate experiences and negative thinking.

It is safe to say depression is not caused by one single factor; it is most often caused by many different things. Genetics, biochemical factors, medicines and alcohol, developmental and other external factors, and relationships, marriage and children all have effect on the development of clinical depression.

When Deciphering "What is clinical depression?"; What signs are common?

The American Psychiatric Association considers people to have clinical depression if they exhibit at least five of the following symptoms almost every day for two weeks, and must show at least one of the first two criteria:

* Persistent feelings of sadness, irritability, or anxiety
* Overreaction to irritations
* Loss of interest in activities previously enjoyed, including sex
* Sleeping too much, sleeping too little

* Loss of motivation
* Feelings of hopelessness
* Suicidal thoughts and/or behavior
* Withdrawal from relationships, antisocial behavior
* Physical aches and pains that seem to have no other cause
