Clinical depression is characterized by persistent sadness lasting over two weeks, loss of interest in activities (anhedonia), changes in sleep or appetite, and fatigue. Unlike fleeting sadness, it impacts daily functioning. If you suspect this, please use the 'Ask a Doctor' feature on Aarogyaa Bharat for a confidential psychiatric assessment.
