7. (depression) (430↑, 20↓)
A state of altered perception where one sees the world as bleak and dark. Feelings and actions such as purposelessness, disinterest, low self esteem, [self-harm], pessimism, suicidal thoughts or tendencies and a lack of motivation or energy may accompany it. It is not simply the feeling of being sad, but is a lasting state of mind that could be caused by a number of factors. Many health problems lead to depression, poor sleeping habits or eating habits, stress, drugs. Somebody who lives a life of abuse or poverty would be a victim of depression. Clinical depression is a very serious problem, and those who have it should seek help. Often it is difficult to recognise due to the numbness it can bring, and usually people are not willing to admit when they are depressed. Depression is difficult to imagine when one is not depressed, and can therefore fall under the critical eye as something that does not exist and something people only whine about because they have nothing better to do. Nobody can know for certain what another person is feeling, so it is not something anybody can judge.

Your next door neighbour seems happy and normal. You find out he has killed himself. Nobody had suspected his depression, but he has been feeling alienated and could find no sense of living, the pain and torment he was secretly feeling were too much to take.

Im probablyl not adding anything realy new but this is my description of depression. Imagine sitting inside of a box, Its a totaly transparent box, You can see a whole world outside of you with all the pleasures it can offer (you know like having fun with friends, playing games, listening to your favorite music, etc) Heres the catch, that box your inside of... Its bolted to the ground. Your trapped inside with no way of ever getting out. To me, That is what depression feels like

Depression I feel like a rat in a trap, Always wanting to break free of my restraints and run, But the metal only digs deeper the more I struggle.

Most difinitely NOT a mood; it is NOT something that one can get over by friends making them laugh. Depression is an illness just like diabetes or cancer that affects the mind and needs to be treated just as urgently. Can be fatal. It is a horribly unbearable feeling inside that does not go away.

Take a deep breath in, hold it, take another breath in. That pain that you feel is the start of depressive feelings. Now pretend you haven't slept in 4 weeks and your body hurts like you have a flu. That is sorta like what depression feels like

18. (Depression) (74↑, 9↓)
Something that can happen to anyone at anytime. It can happen for no reason at all. A feeling that is not only emotional but physical too. Not only do you feel sad, upset, emotional, lost, worthless, empty, like theres no hope, but it physically hurts too. Tight feeling in your lungs, body aches, painful. Something so hard to describe. So much more than just a mental illness. If you've never suffered it then you never understand. You feel as though theres no where to turn. Your surrounded by so many people yet you've never felt more alone in the world.

Jamie's friends did not understand why she constantly slept, they didn't know she was depressed. Jake abused drugs, alcohol, and himself to numb his depression and forget his problems.

19. (depression) (157↑, 94↓)
A symptom of a sick and hyper-materialistic society. The reason for this is that not everyone buys into the materialism as they grow up, thus they feel commonly disjointed from the rest, particularly after a horrible event that shakes up their perception of reality to another perception that is actually more accurate. However, at that time, the person will most likely not have the emotional/intellectual maturity to understand this 'new' reality, thus they are overwhelmed by emotions. While people plunge downward, in our society, most others refuse to help/react stupidly and end up making things much worse. During such a time of ghastly realization, one needs to be close to others who are going through similar ordeals, but such free thinking is often discouraged and the affair is too stigmatized for most to help with it. Depression is not a 'medical disorder'; this has merely been invented to absolve others of responsibility and facilitate an easier, more smooth return to the status quo. Most people have trouble understanding people who are depressed, thus it is easier for them to say that they have some kind of 'condition' rather than making an attempt to genuinely understand them. The same goes for a psychiatrist; they are merely there to return the sufferer back to the status quo, whilst depression is often the beginning of a path to intellectual cynicism that transcends any 'normality'. Much of the reason that depression is far more common in current times than a hundred years ago is because many people run to technological outlets to avoid their problems, hence they are distracted, miserable and at the same time very confused. Depressed people are commonly more disgusted by the 'norms' and anything sensationalist, but often are not given a sanctuary in which to learn/heal and often instead have nonsense shoved in their faces. Depression is beatable but requires a strong willpower, a great deal of thought, and a change of attitude. Many who have had severe depression at a point in their life can be great empathizers. The theories that depression is caused by a 'chemical imbalance' are nothing short of nonsense; the brain does chemically adapt to changing circumstances, but since it is influenced by the metaphysical in this manner, it must be treated the same way. By psychiatric logic, being happy for an extended period of time is also a chemical imbalance.

Jake was deep in depression; but after two years of struggling, he finally pulled himself out of a rut and found himself not a teenager, but a man.

21. (depression) (73↑, 14↓)
*noun*; prolonged economic crisis characterized by drastic (i.e., \>20%) decline in output, reduction in employment, and [deflation]. Other technical conditions include a [liquidity trap] and "permanent" (i.e., persisting in many sectors for several quarters) failure to reach equilibrium. Usually the word "depression" (when referring to economics) is used to refer to the [Great Depression], although in fact there were eight incidents of a global depression between 1815 and 1922. These were --- 1815-21 --- 1832-33 --- 1837-44 --- 1854-57 --- 1867-68 --- 1876-79 --- 1893-96 --- 1920-22 In addition, there have been many localized depressions, panics (e.g., the 1907 Panic \{USA\}, followed by the Mexican Depression of 1908), and [recessions]. DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RECESSION & DEPRESSION The technical distinction between a recession and depression can vary, although economists usually agree on which is which. In [Keynesian] economics, a depression is defined by the existence of a flat liquidity-money (LM) curve (which means that interest rates have no influence on people's determination to hold their wealth as cash); and/or a nearly vertical investment-savings (IS) curve (which means interest rates have no influence on the willingness of entrepreneurs to expand/continue operations). In contrast, a recession is a much less drastic event. Interest rates still have influence on investment and liquidity, and there is no deflation. Conventional [fiscal policy] and [monetary policy], combined and in moderate doses, can restore full employment. [Neoclassical economics]/[New Classical economics] defines a recession as a shift in people's income/leisure preferences as the result of a [technology shock]. The technology shock sharply reduces the returns to labor, so workers are paid less and many withdraw their labor from the market. In a depression, the technology shocks are compounded and cause a permanent change in the production function; large numbers of enterprise are no longer viable. More generally, a recession involves the downward phase of a routine [business cycle]; these typically occur every three-seven years. A depression represents a partial collapse of the [industrial system], and a comprehensive collapse of the financial system.

From 1929 to 1933 the U.S. price level fell 25 percent. Many economists blame this deflation for the severity of the Great Depression. They argue that the deflation may have turned what in 1931 was a typical economic downturn into an unprecedented [*sic*] period of high unemployment and depressed income. N. Gregory Mankiw, William M. Scarth, *Macroeconomics: Canadian Edition*, 2nd ed. (2003) p.318

22. (Depression) (83↑, 24↓)
A clinical condition caused by an imbalance in the levels of Serotonin in the brain. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter in the brain which is responsible for feelings of wellbeing and contentment. A decline in the level of Serotonin present in the brain causes severe feelings of anxiousness, lethargy, tiredness and a prolonged sadness. Depression is a lasting condition, and is not to be confused with being an emo wanker who sits around slashing up for attention.

Emos are milking the whole depression card. They're ruining the seriousness of the issue, much like they ruined checkers, skating and punk music. If you know of somebody that is legitimately depressed, tell them to seek medical help.

27. (depression) (28↑, 1↓)
The worst emotion you could ever feel. Every day becomes a living hell and you wonder if you have a purpose on this earth and why you should even be alive anyway. Depression will cause you to be on the edge of tears every minute of the day, and you eventually just stop caring about everything. Relationships suffer, friendships end, and suddenly you feel alone and there's no one but depression to keep you company. Sometimes depression is mistaken for melodrama, and the person who you think is crying for attention is actually screaming on the inside. Depressed people wish they could end the agony, but can't because there aren't many alternatives. Depression usually doesn't have just one cause. It's a whole load of little problems that pile up after an unspecific length of time(depending on the problems, and how long you've kept your feelings bottled up inside) and eventually grow to become unbearable. You feel trapped and you want out but there's no way out, and every single simple everyday task like waking up and going to school becomes futile in your mind.

Just as I was reading these definitions for the same word, there were tears rolling down my face. Looks like I've got depression again. This is pathetic.

28. (Depression) (56↑, 29↓)
A state of mind that causes one's view of themselves and/or their surroundings to be degrading towards themselves. might be caused by a chemical imballance in the brain, but not always. Almost every person goes through a depressed state, but those who reside in depression more often than not must seek medical attention and counseling. If one person is depressed, it is advised to help them in any way you can. It will be greatly appreciated by the person, as it will give them a reason to go on, and it will give them a person to fall back on when they become depressed once again

31. (Depression) (17↑, 5↓)
Depression is a word commonly associated with emotions that encourage it. Commonly, depression is used to describe the aftermath or late symptom of something, like death in the family. For some reason, depression induces more of what the depression came from in the first place. In example, if someone developed depression from guilt, chances are depression will make them feel more guilty than they were before.

Assume that you got someone fired from a job they really needed. At first, you'd just feel guilty. Over time it may heal up, but for some reason, at some point or another something will rear the guilt back up. Only the guilt will have gained enough strength to induce depression as a resulting symptom to guilt.

32. (Depression) (13↑, 3↓)
When you dont feel like your former self, the biggest burden you have to carry in life is your life. The last thoughts of happiness in your life seem so distant that you dont recognize the person you once were. You want your life to end but sometimes putting in that effort to end it seems impossible. We are trapped underneath the weight of our failures, where we feel we deserve to be.

Depression is When you want to be happy but the tears running down your face and the burning inside your heart are to much to live with, you feel as if your nothing more then a vessel wondering an empty world where noone can see you and the thought of dying is the best you can possible have.

*make sure you understand that everyone suffers from depression in [different] ways.* I like to classify it into two cattegories either caused by trauma or embeded into your chemical make-up and [hereditory] usually depression caused by trauma will go away sometime, depending on how badly traumatized the person was. usually when depression is a chemical imbalance in your brain, it will never really go away. it will stay with you for the rest of your life, but can be treated by anti-depressants so you barely notice it if youre on a good one\! both are awful things to deal with. with a case of depression, one can see some sort of doctor and the doctor will or will not perscribe a medication such as [prozac] depending on what he/she thinks.

36. (Depression) (2↑, 0↓)
The state of mind in which an individual might feel alone, helpless, inadequate, trapped, severely upset or rejected. Depression may also be accompanied by some form of self harm. Someone with depression may find it hard to talk about their feelings, even with their closest companions and family members, therefore they will put on a 'happy face' to mask their true feelings. Depression is usually first diagnosed after a traumatic event, such as a death of a loved one, or after a long period of holding in feelings.

The point where you realize that all the differing opinions and thoughts of individuals are pointless and only make the world more muddled; The feeling you get when you find that having an open mind doesn't work all of the time; Realizing that people on the internet and IRL are complete retards and the likelihood of meeting a genuine person is very low.

People need to realize that stereotypes like Emo and Cynic and Idealist are fucking stupid and that they need to get over their overpowering need to classify things for the greater good. Depression is a natural human emotion, so stop devaluing things that matter (unless you want to be a goddamn automaton).

Ok. Here’s a brief description of the presidents from the beginning of the depression until the beginning of World War two. So, at the beginning of the depression in October of 1929, you got Hoover in office. At first, everyone thinks its just another depression, that happen every so often. At that point, no one had any idea how bad it would be. Hoover believed in the concept of “rugged individualism” where basically, he disagreed with socialism/communism (more basically, he was conservative). So he started out with no special programs, as any president would have done (including FDR) in his position. He started out with encouragement towards business management, then when everyone started to realize it was bad, he started to move towards more drastic measures, such as his lowering of mortgage rates and the government buying crops from farmers. The only time that people realized the actual issue the nation was facing was at the end of his presidency, which is when he came up with his plan that he would have used had he been reelected. Well, he wasn’t. So, after FDR took office, he went to him and showed him his plan. FDR went and used it as if it were his own idea. His “New Deal” was an edited (edited for the worse, more towards socialism) version of the plan that Hoover had shown him. The thing is, the New Deal didn’t do much. It was somewhat successful in helping the economy, but not all that much more than that of what Hoover had done (that is if you consider that FDR could have done a lot more in office because he had been in during the depression for much longer, so you have to look at how much they did proportional to how long they were in). His New Deal was all good and fine, but if you look at the charts (trust me, I have), you see that World War Two was the major contributor to the economic recovery. You see that starting in 1942, there was a dramatic increase in GDP (Gross Domestic Product). This was completely a result of America’s well known success at times of war. The American economy always performs better and more efficiently during times of war, as it did in WWII and took us out of The Great Depression. Ok, so this is basically FDR's contribution: He didn’t do all that much, WWII did all everyone though that he did. All the good he did do, was because Hoover told him what to do. Thank you for taking the time to read what took me a somewhat considerable amount of time, long enough for me to do it in Word so I wouldn’t lose it by accident if some stupid shit happened.

depression Well that took a long time to write, a longer amount of time than how long FDR had to think about whether or not he should take Hoover's idea. Take a look at some of my other definitions biatch.

I am filled with depression." god dude that wrote this has depression problems\! baby doll i think of suicide yes and i don't have the guts and i'm your age but there are friends and thats one of the things that keeps me alive. depression isn't a permenant state of mind. although it feels like a hole eating at you regardless of where you are but if you surround yourself with friends you'll be fine\! well you should i don't always but meh. and emo wise, just cause i dress and talk and bleh like an emo don't meen that i'm permenently depressed and slit my wrists (i haven't for a month lol :D) i can be quite happy go and hyper active and that happens alot. your more likely to get depressed alone.

Firstly, depression is NOT a disease. Fuck the people who are brainwashed to thinking so. Depression is a state of mind which is persistant because, lets face it, life is depressing for the masses. Dont let the media fool you into believing their bullshit. You are normal, you hate your life because you are being used and always will be most likely. You have to fight this and continue on. I do it through a simple litany-- "because fuck them". That is it. Why let anyone else take advantage of your unhappiness by taking your money, most likely leaving you in a more depressing position???? Piss on them, fight back, live to see them fail since they are part of the source of your depression\! Another thing, the world, a.k.a. your gov, is very depressing to even contemplate, so until a revolution you should work around or with it to meet your goals. Never be put off by the sad state of affairs worldwide, what have they to do with you on the small scale(sometimes a lot more than others but still)? When all else fails, and I'm not shittin' you, say "Fuck It\!". At that point anything in your way becomes dogmeat and \<god?\> help it\! Right\! Fuck this depressing shithole and keep your life because you will never know if it is all you have until its over and not even then if you aren't religous such as me. Just don't give up because you live in the same shite the majority has had for billions of years. Its called mediocrity nowadays, live and let live is the only solution and drop the "American Dream" because it died the day that all big corps were made concrete. You have no disease, my friend. Fuck them all\! You have a concept known as reality and they dont want to live there because it doesn't profit them\! "you are probably smarter than them in fact"

I was totally encompassed by depression when every movie sucked last year, and every tv show is reality, and boy bands rocked the coast\! Whoa, what are you? Some kind of corp clone sent to destroy all thinking in the world with feel-good drugs? Yeah\! I'm the new don up in this bitch\! OH\! \<shotgun-blasts are heard\>
