Depression is not just sadness. It is this a complete take over of melancholy that permeates every cell of ones body. 'Snapping out' of this state and beckoning this malady to leave you is not an option. Nor is it possible! The illness is insidious and left untreated will have devastating consequences. On the way down to deep despair suicide is marked possibility in those moments where some motivation still exists. Beyond that catatonia is possible if depression is left untreated, whereby one hasn't the capacity to function physically to sustain their existence by contributing basic daily living expectations. Overwhelming fatigue and desire to sleep excessively can be featured and/or rumination and wakefulness within nocturnal hours may be part of the presentation. Sleep offers relief from negative, destructive dark thoughts, self talk and loathing but that immediately reinserts into your day when you awaken. The desire to be dead may be marked, the hope to not wake up can be immense. Life's joys no longer exist. Life is torture. Each day is a monumental challenge to perform in whatever capacity expected of you. The hours are glacial pace and every physical action is akin too wading through knee high wet concrete. In-patient hospital care is indicated especially when assessed to being danger to yourself or others with implementation of medication, talk therapy and ECT if indicated in severe depression
