Answer:

Clinical depression

A mental health disorder characterized by persistently depressed mood or loss of interest in activities, causing significant impairment in daily life.

Possible causes include a combination of biological, psychological, and social sources of distress. Increasingly, research suggests these factors may cause changes in brain function, including altered activity of certain neural circuits in the brain.

The persistent feeling of sadness or loss of interest that characterizes major depression can lead to a range of behavioral and physical symptoms. These may include changes in sleep, appetite, energy level, concentration, daily behavior, or self-esteem. Depression can also be associated with thoughts of suicid3.

The mainstay of treatment is usually medication, talk therapy, or a combination of the two. Increasingly, research suggests these treatments may normalize brain changes associated with depression.

Edit: Pay attention to the comments under this post, someone has provided a non-literal meaning

Answer:

When it rains, it rains really hard. There is a lot of rain.

Step-by-step explanation:

It's sort of a hyperbole, or an exaggeration. It's trying to tell you that when it does rain, it rains a lot.
