Depression is not hopelessness. It is not sadness. It is not unhappiness.
Depression is a chemical state in the brain which leads to lower general emotion levels. Depression is when you feel nothing. Depressed people may self-harm to "feel something".
- nixme 8y agoI'm not sure it helps to describe depression as a chemical state. Happiness and sadness are also "chemical" states.
