Depression must be controlled to prevent it from becoming a serious mood problem even though it is a common occurrence. Clinical depression or depressive disorder is characterized by chronic depression. Serious symptoms arise that will affect thinking, feeling and daily activities which will end up affecting the way you eat sleep or work. Even though mood swings are common, there are some symptoms that will be present for at least two weeks before depression can be diagnosed.
