Depression can be used offhand to describe a period of emotional low. Clinical depression has been diagnosed as an illness. Or that's the way I always understood it. -- Posted by r o c 2 at 4:43 am on Sep. 11, 2008 i guess Clinical worst -- Posted by Amaya luvs Dread at 8:38 am on Sep. 11, 2008 Depression is depression to the person who has it. What it is called has nothing to do with it. -- Posted by muphnplutonic at 4:40 pm on Sep. 11, 2008 Quote: from Amaya luvs Dread at 8:38 am on Sep. 11, 2008 Depression is depression to the person who has it.
