Major depressive disorder

Major depressive disorder, also known as major depression, unipolar depression, clinical depression, or simply depression, is a mental disorder characterized by a pervasive low mood, and loss of interest or pleasure in usual activities. The diagnosis is made if a person has suffered one or more major depressive episodes. The onset is usually in early- to mid-adulthood. Diagnosis is based on the patient's self-reported experiences and observed behavior. There is no laboratory test for major depression, although physicians often test for physical conditions that may cause similar symptoms before arriving at a diagnosis. The course varies widely: it can be a once-in-a-lifetime event or have multiple recurrences; it can appear either gradually or suddenly; and can either last for a few months or be a life-long disorder. The term "depression" is commonly used to describe a temporary depressed mood, when a person may feel sad or "down". Ideas about what causes and constitutes depression have evolved over the centuries. Many mental health professionals regard chronic and severe depression as a serious and often disabling condition that can significantly affect a person's work, family and school life, sleeping and eating habits, and general health;others maintain that depression is overdiagnosed as a clinical condition, and that current diagnostic standards have the effect of "medicalising sadness." Major depressive disorder is a major risk factor for suicide; and sufferers have a higher mortality rate from other causes Specific treatments include psychotherapy, antidepressants, or ECT in severe cases.
