When it comes to depression and sadness, almost all people know the same. But there is a vast difference between this two. Sadness is a part of being human. It happens to almost everyone, at some or other point of life. Its natural and vanishes with time. But when it comes to depression, its more of an illness. Its not good for health and causes bad effects on your mind. It keeps you sadly all day and you don’t enjoy any of the process. It must be taken care of when it is found because, when it grows to a high level, it causes pain, mentally and physically.

There is not always a valid reason for depression. Sometimes the passing away of a near and dear one, not speaking of a girlfriend or an insult in front of a crowd can cause this. It can continue for weeks, months and years !! whereas sadness is temporary. It happens for a very minute reason, may be cause you lot of pain but as time goes, you will be able to forget it. It doesn’t create any mental pressure on you and you become relaxed. You can say that, depression is a long term continuous process of sadness!! sometimes, in some part of your mind, you are having a mental imbalance.

That is some kinds of hormones continuously are created in your mind and it disturbs your balance of mind and body. It keeps you in sadly mode with no real reason and you wonder, what has happened to you.
