What does everyone call it? Or what language do you use to explain it if you are having a bad day? For example I say ‘my depression is bad today

I was recently watching a British series Grantchester and one of the characters referred to it as a "Black Dog". Then not too soon afterwards, a video from World Health Organization (WHO) popped up on 7Cups... and the illustration in that series made so much sense along with learning to live with Black Dog, understanding Black Dog, teaching Black Dog new tricks, and that Black Dog can lead us around if we let it but eventually we can eventually accept and walk beside Black Dog or even leave it by itself.

If anybody wants to see what I'm talking about>
