First, : First, it is important to know that feeling sad is a normal human emotion. Depression is serious medical condition characterized by feelings of hopelessness, constant sadness, irritability, disinterest in favorite activities and feelings of guilt/unworthiness. However this condition is treatable. If you think you are depressed, let your heathcare provider know.
