Depressed means feeling extremely sad or dejected. When someone is depressed, they may feel a heavy weight on their heart and a lack of energy to do the things they usually enjoy. It's like when the rainclouds cover the sky and the sun seems to disappear, leaving everything feeling gray and gloomy.

Imagine a time when you felt really, really sad, like nothing could make you smile or lift your spirits. That's what it feels like to be depressed. It's more than just feeling down for a little bit; it's a deep and overwhelming sadness that can make it hard to feel hopeful or happy.

Depressed can also mean when something is pushed down or made lower, like when you press a button and it goes down. When someone is really sad, it's like their emotions are being pushed down, making it hard for them to see the bright side of things or feel better.

So, when we talk about being depressed, we're talking about feeling really, really sad and low, like a heavy rainstorm that just won't let up. It's important to remember that it's okay to feel this way, and there are people who can help when we're feeling depressed.
