We may also develop a feeling of sincere regret. (Photo Credit: Cookie Studio/Shutterstock) Insecurity often leads to hardship when it is time to let go and can induce extreme levels of self-doubt. At the point of a triggering moment, we aren’t aware of what memory our body is remembering, but we feel the heaviness of sadness in us. Our brains store a ton of information and memory, so we can’t possibly know when some auditory or visual stimulation will trigger that neuronal nostalgia. We often don’t realise that we carry the burden of countless past experiences in our subconscious, many of which can be triggered at any point, causing us to feel sad.

So, just as there is no defined reason for this sadness, there’s no fixed term for this sadness either! If we feel sad for no reason, can there still be a reason behind it? The problem is that the scientific-medical definition of Hypophrenia roughly means “mentally retarded”, which has a negative cultural connotation that isn’t directly related to the symptoms being described here.

However, there is a term that can sum up this sadness in a word: Hypophrenia, which is defined as a “vague feeling of sadness without any cause”. To date, there is no widely accepted word to describe the feeling of “sadness for no reason”, although it’s experienced by countless people, regardless of their age group or gender.
