How to use "Depressing" in context?
Depression is a very serious mental disorder that can severely affect a person's mood, energy, and ability to function. In some cases, depression can lead to thoughts of suicide. Depression is not a symptom of a few bad days or a stage of grief. It is a chronic condition that can last for months, years, or even a lifetime.
There is no one cause of depression. It can be caused by things like a severe personal injury, a death in the family, or a traumatic event. Depression can also be caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain. As we age, our brains can become less able to handle stress.
