What is depression?

I mean, what are actual symptoms of depression? I read that taking Microgynon can cause depression and since I started taking it I've been really weird. Me and my bf have almost split over the way I've been. I was crying a lot, getting upset or angry at the slightest thing, being really clingy, not wanting to do much, but when I stopped taking it for my 7 day break I have been the total opposite. So just wondered if it was actually the Pill or just coincidence :redface:

it could also be a psychological thing -- where just because you came off of it - your body just automatically changed coz you knew that it had to change coz you came off of it

Depression is the absence of emotion. Not feeling happy or sad, simply void.

Yes, depression can be that, but it manifests itself it other ways as well.
