Question : What is the difference between having the blues and clinical depression?

11 comments:

  1. Everyone gets the blues every once in a while. Singing the blues is a good way to get those feelings out and make you feel better. Clinical depression is a little more serious. Depression isn't that easy to deal with.

  5. Having the blues isn't nearly as serious as having clinical depression. The blues just means you're sad, but you're putting it out there and dealing with it better. If someone is depressed, they don't really want to talk to anyone else about it and they don't want to go anywhere or do anything. Depression can affect someone physically and mentally. It can make people do things that, in the right state of mind, they would know never to, much less even want to, do.

  6. Well I don't think anyone can really answer that correctly. But in my opinion I think the Blues is only a temporary thing that happens every once in a while. Maybe just remembering old memories. But depression is a totally a different story. Its serious.

  7. When you have the blues you have some sort of sane outlet and being clinically depressed, well then you're just crazy.

  8. If you have the blues, there's something bothering you and you can express it in a song. With clinical depression you don't have just one major reason to be sad, there's just an assortment of stuff going on in your life that cause this empty feeling in you that you can't make better by yourself, no matter how hard you try.

  9. Blues are in the form of expressing your feelings while depression puts your feelings on hold.

  10. depression is something that is a medical condition, the blues is more of a musical term for a form of music.
