When, for instance, feeling heart broken --love pain-- is one of the real forms of depression as a mood. Because depression is a state of low mood and aversion to activity that can affect a person's thoughts, behaviour, feelings and physical well-being. Depressed people can feel sadness, anxious, emptyness, hopeless, helpless, worthless, guilty, irritable, or restless. But being ''down'' doesn't necessarily equal being depressed.
I, for example, think a lot about the missery in the world, which can make me feel pretty fucked up at times, sleepless nights, etc. I believe that can be seen as depression. Though, luckily, I haven't felt that way for a long time now.
I have a major depression disorder. It's genetic.
