It’s normal to experience symptoms of depression when you lose a loved one, get fired from a job, go through a divorce, or experience other significant life events that lead you to feel sad, lonely, scared, discouraged, nervous or anxious. We sometimes call it a “case of the blues.” When you experience these symptoms daily or they persist for long periods of time, for no obvious reason, and make it difficult to carry on with activities of daily life, then you may have true depression.
