Which best describes the difference between 'sadness' and 'clinical depression'?

Explanation
Normal sadness is a natural response to difficult life events and typically resolves on its own. Clinical depression (Major Depressive Disorder) is diagnosed when depressive symptoms persist for at least two weeks and significantly impair daily functioning.
Workplace wellness programs that address mental health have been shown to reduce absenteeism, improve productivity, and lower healthcare costs for both employers and employees.
