Question by Life is Okay: Do you think people are confusing a depressed mood with depression?
I noticed that some people say they have depression when in fact, all they have is a depressed mood, which is normal in life. Life is full of ups and downs, and part of experiencing a down moment is that we feel depressed, but we can still function okay and our sadness is mild. I believe, people have to know the difference, so that people who going through a normal, healthy depressed mood, do not end up unnecessarily medicated. Of course, there are people who really do experience major depression and for them psychological treatment is necessary.
