Depression
Depression is a depression is a very deep, long, and painful recession, in which unemployment rises to very high levels, and economic output does not bounce back.
Depression is in psychiatry, a disorder marked especially by sadness, inactivity, difficulty with thinking and concentration, a significant increase or decrease in appetite and time spent sleeping, feelings of dejection and hopelessness and sometimes suicidal
thoughts or attempts to commit suicide. While standing alone as a mental illness, depression also can be experienced in other disorders such as bipolar disorder. Depression can range from mild to severe, and is very treatable with today’s medications and/or therapy.
Depression is a period of drastic economic decline, characterized by decreasing business transactions, falling prices, and high rates of unemployment.
