1. For me depression is when something bad happens to me. Like losing someone you love or nothing is going right at all. It feels like it doesnt end and for me, the days seem to drag a bit.

feeling down is when a thought or something is just bumming you out. like something somebody said to you is just eating at you. or you cant do something right even though your trying.

these are just what i think. dont quote me on it lol

2. Being diagnosed with the disease, depression, is when basically nothing matters in life. You really have no emotions because you don't see a point in life. Being depressed as in sad because something in your life happened is when you are sad for a certain period of time, but you don't lose interest in life itself.
