   I am disabled with major depression disorder. I'm not a clinical professional but I can describe what it is like for me. You dread waking up in the morning. You have to fight to get out of bed, everything you do including things your supposed to enjoy feel like a chore. You wish everybody would just leave you alone, you don't want to be around people, because nobody understands you or where you are coming from, you feel empty and like no matter what you do nothing will ever change because you are so different, especially in your thinking, than everyone else. You think about suicide or killing others on a daily basis, your extremely irritable and short tempered. Those are some of the signs of depression. Mine was caused by people conspiring against me in the workplace and justice never being served. In my case it can't be treated because the issue at hand will never be resolved. I believe unresolved issues or trauma causes it. References :

   she should visit a doctor. the doctor will diagnose and refer her to someone if necessary. I was diagnosed with depression at 14 years of age. My cause is heredity. I have a history of mental illnesses in my family – some severe and some minor. But, some other triggers include traumatic episodes. Some symptoms are a state of deep darkness for more than 6 – 9 months, loss of interest in living (activities, education, work, waking up), fatigue, foggy thoughts, appetite changes, weight gain or loss, lack of hygiene, etc.References :
