Depression, in short, is as tangible as hell gets in daily life. I've survived major episodes of depression as well as more recent dysthymia (mild depression). It involves a loss of interest in hobbies or things that normally excite oneself, a loss of sleep and ability to focus the mind, a lack of energy and activity, and apathy. To make the sickness worse, a depressed person typically feels rolling waves of guilt about being apathetic or unmotivated, sometimes even guilt for things they could not possibly have been responsible for or other types of unreal guilt (these last two are called delusional guilt). There were even several weeks where the apathy was so bad that although when I woke in the morning I consciously knew I had to get up to go to work yet could see no reason to get up at all (I could not even see a reason to call in sick) what lasted several hours, once or twice it was even so bad that the apathy did not lift enough to permit me to get up and go to work that I actually did not get to work until just before lunch!
Depression really sucks. While depressed, I had full awareness of my problem but no hope than any solution existed and often didn't care if there was one or not. (This is why professional intervention is needed to solve depression!) You can be depressed without the severe side effects as well and feel as bad for a period of time, usually reacting to life's crap. It feels like Your soul is dead or dying. You may want to die and even develop a suicide plan, some attempt suicide.
