Depression? Depresson is a common misspelling of depression.
Depression is a mental and physical illness that often interferes with normal functioning and can cause pain and suffering. It is not the same as a passing blue mood. People with depression may experience symptoms such as a persistent sad or "empty" mood, thoughts of death or suicide, and decreased energy. Treatment for depression may include psychotherapy, medications, or a combination of the two.
