	Depression (mood) - guideofcasinos.com
		Depression, in everyday language, refers to any downturn in mood, which may be relatively transitory and perhaps due to something trivial.
		In a clinical setting, a depressed mood can be something a patient reports (a symptom), or something a clinician observes (a sign), or both.
