Am I Sad or Is It Just Nighttime?

Is there a difference between feeling depressed and sad? Why is the top most googled search term at night in 2023 "Sadness"? Are we more sad at night because of the moon or is it mercury in retrograde?
David and Claudia share when they usually feel sad, why they think you're probably more sad at night and what to say to a friend who's (maybe constantly) sad.
