Self : 1 , Depression: 0

​A feeling of deep rooted disappointment or grief, when not fully addressed or when found too difficult to accept and which extends for periods of six months and beyond is termed as Depression. Starting with a basic feeling of unhappiness due to a specific trigger event, it worsens to misery, frustration, denial and then anger, ultimately leads to absolute dejection, guilt and hopelessness, the worst result being suicide.
