Nigel.
Depression is very different to the transient episodes of low mood that
you seem to have in mind. It has firm diagnostic criteria and and can
be a fatal illness. And of course, depression is just one form of
mental illness. Mania, for example, is anything but a shade of
unhappiness, and schizophrenia is completely different from those
affective disorders.
