WHAT IS DEPRESSION?
Everyone faces sadness and unhappiness at some point in their lives. However,
Depression is more intense and of longer duration than typical sadness or grief, which
interferes with a person's ability to engage in daily activities. Depression is truly one of
the most prominent mental illnesses in the world. Depression is defined as a mental
illness inducing a severe and staunch feeling of sadness. Depression heavily influences
emotions and one’s outlook on life and more than often ends up changing a person’s life
in a major way. People experiencing depression often feel sad every day and cry very
often, making that too another daily routine. Even when participating in activities that
used to bring joy, people begin to lose interest and begin secluding themselves from
people and things they love.
PSYCHOTIC DEPRESSION:
Psychotic depression is a subtype of major depression that occurs when a
severe depressive illness includes some form of psychosis. The psychosis could
be hallucinations (such as hearing a voice telling you that you are no good or
worthless), delusions (such as, intense feelings of worthlessness, failure, or
having committed a sin) or some other break with reality. Psychotic depression
affects roughly one out of every four people admitted to the hospital for
depression.
