Gloominess and sadness are a part of life. If you lose a loved one, or if a relationship ends or if things are just not working out right now, then you can often feel gloomy and sad. This is quite normal. However, if the sense of gloom lasts for a longer period of time and if it severely affects your day-to-day life, then it could also be a depression. If you are experiencing a depression, then you feel sad and bleak for the largest part of the day and you have lost interest in nearly everything.
There are various types of depression. Common types are: winter depression and postpartum depression. The likelihood of developing depression may be influenced by hereditary factors, but other forms appear because of over-exertion, a troubled childhood, or as a consequence of traumatic events. Often it helps to talk about it.
