About Depression Everyones feels sad Everyone feels blue or sad now and then, but these feelings don't usually last long and pass within a couple of days. When a person has depression, it interferes with daily life and normal functioning, and causes pain for both the person with depression and those who care about him or her. Doctors call this condition "depressive disorder," or "clinical depression."

What depression looks like More than 5 million men in the U.S. experience depression each year. Clinical depression—in women or men—can cause sadness and a loss of interest in once pleasurable activities. But depression can sometimes manifest in different ways in different people. "While the symptoms used to diagnose depression are the same regardless of gender, often the chief complaint can be different among men and women" says Ian A. Cook, MD, the Miller Family professor of psychiatry at the University of California–Los Angeles.
