> Can someone tell me the difference between Clinical depression and Chronic, recurring depression. Which is more severe? Is one a chemical imbalance?

from what i understand, "clinical" depression's symptoms persist for 2 weeks or more.

"chronic" depression is recurring...i don't know whether it matters whether it is mild, moderate, or severe...

"dysthymia" is a chronic condition of mild depression--you never feel quite right or happy, always mildly depressed...

from experience i'd say that "chronic" is more severe than "clinical"--"chronic" is automatically clinical...clinical isn't automatically chronic (bless the lawd)...

best.
