Depression is a prolonged feeling of unhappiness and despondency, often magnified by a major life event such as bereavement, divorce or retirement. Many women experience depression after childbirth. Clinical depression is a genuine illness which overwhelms the sufferer so that he or she feels the hopelessness, dejection and fear – out of all proportion to any cause. Someone who is severely depressed may contemplate or attempt suicide. It is important to see a doctor if you think you have severe depression.
