depression is  a state of low mood, it also includes aversion to activity that can affect a persons thoughts, feelings, sense of well being and more. have you ever suffered from this?
I have! It's not fun! I know other people who have worse symptoms though!
a depressed ood can also be a normal temporary reaction to life events like a loss of a loved one
Right, my dog died a few weeks ago and that led me to being depressed for a little while.
those depressive episodes are different from depressed moods that are a symptom of mood disorders like major depressive disorder or dysthymia
Correct! It is not a long term mental health issue. I have heard about manic depression before and it doesn't sound very good.
what also doesnt sound good are the symptoms expressed such as guilt, irritability, or anger. 
Defintey. Some people over eat while being depressed too, which is followed by guilt. This just makes the situation worse!
yes ive experienced that myself sadly! feelings guilt and ashamed in addition to restlessnss are some of the worst symptoms ive personally experienced. i
Aw that's too bad! I wonder if there are any natural remedies for depression?
