Depression is a serious mental illness that is more than just a feeling in which people keep falling into a deep ditch of pain and fear. In simple words, a depressed person always will remain in the thoughts of the past. Which makes the imagination scary and becomes a haunted trap that does not let them out and remains ignorant of the real world.
