Clinical depression is distinguished from the "blues", "just feeling down" and "being out of sorts" by the sense of a great weight bearing down on the subject, thoughts of suicide, and the ability to quickly relieve the subject of his mental pain through application of Prozac and other medication.
Clinical depression is generally thought to be caused by an imbalance in serotonin levels, though in all truth, no one really knows much how the brain actually works. Whatever, since the condition is relieved through medication, it is clearly a physical malady, as opposed to a failure of moral integrity and strength of will as is thought to be the cause by millions of Americans.
