Also knowns as Reactive depression.
** It is a strong emotional response to significant life events, such as losing a loved one or experiencing a natural disaster.
** Unlike typical grief, which is a normal reaction to loss, situational depression involves a more intense response.
** It also differs from clinical depression (major depression), as situational depression typically develops within three months of the triggering event, while clinical depression can occur without any specific trigger.
