Depression is a word commonly associated with emotions that encourage it. Commonly, depression is used to describe the aftermath or late symptom of something, like death in the family. For some reason, depression induces more of what the depression came from in the first place. In example, if someone developed depression from guilt, chances are depression will make them feel more guilty than they were before.
Assume that you got someone fired from a job they really needed. At first, you'd just feel guilty. Over time it may heal up, but for some reason, at some point or another something will rear the guilt back up. Only the guilt will have gained enough strength to induce depression as a resulting symptom to guilt.

An terrible mental illness. Sadly it's also used in an normal way, like: I'm depressed we have history now', used by many girls at my school. They aren't depressed, they are just annoying and hurtful to people who have REALLY suffered depression. If you're depressed, you aren't that because of a lesson you have twice in a week, it's way and way more complicated. When you are using lines like 'I have a depression now because I couldn't sleep a long time', well, you won't remember that when you're 40. If you're really depressed, then the doctors can even SEE it under a narcose or something (when you're depressed you have a missing part of your brain and you'll always miss that part. It's just.... Gone.).
Lesson: Never. Never ever ever use a mental illness like depression to describe your feeling.
Some lines from my classmates:
Saying:
'I'm depressed we have history now'
'I have a depression-day, I have to wait one hour for the bus'
Thinking:
Booh it's so bad.
Real depressed people:
Talking:
'I don't wanna talk about whatever. Leave me alone.'
Thinking:
Just let me alone. I feel like exploding and empty the same time, let me be...
I'm sorry if you find these examples horrible, but I can't imagine how those girls think and what depressed people think.

A symptom of a sick and hyper-materialistic society. The reason for this is that not everyone buys into the materialism as they grow up, thus they feel commonly disjointed from the rest, particularly after a horrible event that shakes up their perception of reality to another perception that is actually more accurate. However, at that time, the person will most likely not have the emotional/intellectual maturity to understand this 'new' reality, thus they are overwhelmed by emotions. While people plunge downward, in our society, most others refuse to help/react stupidly and end up making things much worse. During such a time of ghastly realization, one needs to be close to others who are going through similar ordeals, but such free thinking is often discouraged and the affair is too stigmatized for most to help with it.
Depression is not a 'medical disorder'; this has merely been invented to absolve others of responsibility and facilitate an easier, more smooth return to the status quo. Most people have trouble understanding people who are depressed, thus it is easier for them to say that they have some kind of 'condition' rather than making an attempt to genuinely understand them. The same goes for a psychiatrist; they are merely there to return the sufferer back to the status quo, whilst depression is often the beginning of a path to intellectual cynicism that transcends any 'normality'. Much of the reason that depression is far more common in current times than a hundred years ago is because many people run to technological outlets to avoid their problems, hence they are distracted, miserable and at the same time very confused.
Depressed people are commonly more disgusted by the 'norms' and anything sensationalist, but often are not given a sanctuary in which to learn/heal and often instead have nonsense shoved in their faces. Depression is beatable but requires a strong willpower, a great deal of thought, and a change of attitude. Many who have had severe depression at a point in their life can be great empathizers.
The theories that depression is caused by a 'chemical imbalance' are nothing short of nonsense; the brain does chemically adapt to changing circumstances, but since it is influenced by the metaphysical in this manner, it must be treated the same way. By psychiatric logic, being happy for an extended period of time is also a chemical imbalance.
Jake was deep in depression; but after two years of struggling, he finally pulled himself out of a rut and found himself not a teenager, but a man.

excuse me Mr.First person published on this page YOU ARE WRONG. Not to pooh pooh your idea of "depression" but what you've described sounds a fuck of a lot like emo.
being depressed dont mean you wear black 24/7 or necissarily that you slit your wrists. theres lots of types of depression, bi-polar, clinical etc. depression is a mental illness, dont treat ppl with it like they're bloody tryhard attentions seekers, thats what the world has emos for=D give depr. people a break, coz you wont be helping their cause.

Depressed: A feeling of sadness and loneliness. When you are depressed you feel like the world is turning on you which might lead to self harm. If anybody has self harm in mind, please don't do it. Speak to a loved one or anyone such as a therapist. Depression is not a joke.
I'm depressed I can't do anything right.
Everybody hates me.
Person 1: Look at that person over there!
Person 2: Yeah, rhey sure do look depressed.

Depression is like drown in the sea but seeing everyone around you breathing perfectly fine.
It feels like you're walking upstream through a current strong enough to pull you under four times over. There are others, with you but they are walking along the banks telling you to "just get out of the water." Every once and a while you find a rock that is strong enough to lean on, and you just rest for a bit. But the rocks always get tired of holding you up, and when they let go, your left drowning, thrown 50ft. under and you try to get back to the surface. But nothing is harder than to stand back up in the current when everything in you is telling yourself to just give up and just drown to get it over with. To just get dragged under the water and just die.
Depression is a serious thing and people pose to have it but it's not something you want to have anyway so why pretend? When you go around telling your friends you have depression just know that there might actually be a depressed person right next to you. You maybe think that you're depressed but you aren't you're just sad for the time being if you are doing that.
To people actually fighting depression reading this... Stay Strong because stars can't shine without darkness.
Person 1: "I'm sorry for anyone with depression they have to be really strong."
Person 2: "I hope they get through it."
