Depression is commonly described by signs and symptoms like persistent sadness, an empty mood, pessimism and hopelessness, loss of interest in activities that were typically pleasurable for you.
And there's not necessarily one type of depression - it can come and go. You can have episodes that may last for a couple of months, or it may last for several months. And a form of depression that's sort of a low-grade aspect is dysthymia.
