Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sadness and depression differ in various aspects, but both can linger beyond the immediate aftermath of the triggering event. Sadness, although typically context-specific and proportionate to the loss, can persist for a while, similar to depression. However, the persistence of sadness does not inherently mean it is depression, as depression involves a broader range of symptoms and impacts on functioning.
