Despair is a common but powerful human emotion.
We all at some points of life have experienced despair.
e.g., jobs, marriage, relationships, family, finance etc.
But in most cases this despair fades with time and life goes on. At least until the next crises strikes.
Pathological or clinical despair occurs when despair does not dissolve but rather deepens, kneels down, gets control, and then becomes chronic, diminishing quality of life that obstructs functioning and prevents us from moving toward our goals, hopes and aspirations.
Clinical despair is defined as an existential hopelessness, helplessness, powerlessness, and pessimism about life and the future.
Despair is characterized by profound discouragement and a loss of faith in one’s ability to find meaning, fulfilment, and contentment.
