Depression

Depression is not just feeling unhappy. It encompasses feelings of discouragement and loss of interest or pleasure in almost all activities and pastimes and persists for over two weeks. 

It distorts the way you view yourself, others and the future and leaves you with feelings of worthlessness, thoughts of suicide, severe sleep disturbances and marked agitation. If you are experiencing depressive symptoms seek professional help (e.g., doctor, counsellor).
