situational depression is fake depression. it is simply sadness due to negative events or situations. I do not consider sadness to at all be depression. Those people think they have it tough? Clinical depression is uncontrollable depression. Your life can be perfect yet none of that will matter because you feel horrible uncontrollably. I wish people who dont have a mental disorder would be grateful and more appreciatibe with what they have. A bad job and you're lonely? Big deal. Sadness rarely kills anyone. Meanwhile mental disorders often can.> my wee brain understanding is they are the same. but betcha you could get lotsa bites on the pb board...
