Clinical Depression 

The technical term for depression of clinical significance. Although depression is somewhat ambiguous, this usually refers to a long term struggle to cope with one's self, society and/or their environment.

Clinical depression usually revolves around the concept of brain chemistry according to most psychologists. Researchers insist some people may be predisposed or vulnerable to depression because their brain cannot produce enough monoamines such as serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine. This is often referred to as a chemical imbalance by researchers. When a diagnosis for Clinical Depression is given with the cause being brain chemistry, doctors and psychiatrists will often start shoving various and often unnecessary prescriptions for antidepressant drugs at you. Although, most SSRI drug treatments are harmless and usually produce positive results, if a doctor gives you a prescription and you have had symptoms for less than a year, consider doing more research before you accept a prescription for SSRI drugs since doctors often hand these out like candy, and since pharmaceutical companies have had a major influence in depression research often sponsoring doctors and researchers.
1. "My psychiatrist has given me anti depressants for my legitimate and long term Clinical Depression and I feel good again! I have the motivation to move on with my life now."

2. "After 15 minutes of talking with a psychiatrist I was handed a prescription for a drug that could potentially kill me and give me seizures."

depression 

excuse me Mr.First person published on this page YOU ARE WRONG. Not to pooh pooh your idea of "depression" but what you've described sounds a fuck of a lot like emo.
being depressed dont mean you wear black 24/7 or necissarily that you slit your wrists. theres lots of types of depression, bi-polar, clinical etc. depression is a mental illness, dont treat ppl with it like they're bloody tryhard attentions seekers, thats what the world has emos for=D give depr. people a break, coz you wont be helping their cause.

depression 

Depression is like drown in the sea but seeing everyone around you breathing perfectly fine.

It feels like you're walking upstream through a current strong enough to pull you under four times over. There are others, with you but they are walking along the banks telling you to "just get out of the water." Every once and a while you find a rock that is strong enough to lean on, and you just rest for a bit. But the rocks always get tired of holding you up, and when they let go, your left drowning, thrown 50ft. under and you try to get back to the surface. But nothing is harder than to stand back up in the current when everything in you is telling yourself to just give up and just drown to get it over with. To just get dragged under the water and just die.

Depression is a serious thing and people pose to have it but it's not something you want to have anyway so why pretend? When you go around telling your friends you have depression just know that there might actually be a depressed person right next to you. You maybe think that you're depressed but you aren't you're just sad for the time being if you are doing that.

To people actually fighting depression reading this... Stay Strong because stars can't shine without darkness.
Person 1: "I'm sorry for anyone with depression they have to be really strong."
Person 2: "I hope they get through it."
