Hello :)

I'd like to ask about the meaning of the words.

Are "depressed " and "gloomy" used interchangeably? If not, how do you use them?

Thank you.

Well, in this case I think that the word "depression" is misused a lot of the time, just like the word "hate".

People use "hate" very flippantly.

Depression is a medical condition. Gloomy is being in a somber or cheerless mood. They are not, or rather should not be interchangeable.

-Nah-
