Clinical depression is a mental heath disorder. In general, it’s the persistent depressed mood or loss of interest in activities, causing significant impairment in daily life.

Clinical depression (or major depression) is the more-severe form of "regular" depression. It isn't the same as depression caused by something in particular, like the loss of a loved one, it's more of a constant feeling of sadness or loss of interest
