Re: depression/clinical depression... what's the difference?
clinical depression is being diagnosed with depression by a clinician (ie psychologist, psychiatrist)
people go through boughts of "depression" at times that go away fairly quickly. Clinical depression is the long-term form.
eta: if you think you could be clinically depressed (ie long term feelings of sadness, helplessness that do not abate, lethargy, trouble sleeping) go to a mental health practioner for a screening.

great link, but please only use this as the site directs...not as a diagnostic tool, but to see if you should perhaps see a doctor.

Re: depression/clinical depression... what's the difference?
thanks for the info.
i'll be looking at the link in a bit.
i'm asking here because:
1. i always get an answer
2. with our recent move, i'm kind of "between" doctors. i need to find one in my area.
and now that i've asked the question, i realize... IF I HAVE TO ASK, i should hurry up and find a dr in my area.
again, thanks
