Sadness and depression can really make you feel like you can't move forward with your life. Although some sadness is normal, however if you cannot get out of bed for days, not eating, not sleeping or too much sleep, and having suicidal thoughts, it may be best to get individual therapy. Therapy can help motivate you to build the life you want and get to what is keeping you from being productive.

Sadness is guided by biology and history. They perform a dramatic and often destructive dance which yields depression.
