Depression, or major depressive disorder, is a mental health condition marked by an overwhelming feeling of sadness, isolation and despair that affects how a person thinks, feels and functions. The condition may significantly interfere with a person's daily life and may prompt thoughts of suicide. Depression isn't the same as sadness, loneliness or grief caused by a challenging life experience, such as the death of a loved one.

People with depression may experience a variety of symptoms, but most commonly, "a deep feeling of sadness or a marked loss of interest or pleasure in daily activities," according to the American Psychiatric Association. Other symptoms of depression may include:

Irritability, agitation or restlessnessLower sex driveInability to focus, concentrate or make decisionsInsomnia or sleeping too muchChange in appetite and/or weight, eating too much or too littleTiredness and lack of energyUnexplainable crying spellsUnexplainable physical symptoms such as headaches or body achesFeeling hopeless or worthlessWithdrawal from social situations and normal activitiesThoughts of death or suicide
