Depression: Situational depression is as the name suggests, a mood disorder with sadness, negative thoughts , and dysphoric mood along with many other classical symptoms of major depression, with one exception. The cause is related clearly to some external event, or even internal, say an acute distressing medical condition. It is the situation, whether internal or external, that is causing the depression.
