Major Depressive Disorder Treatment
Depression is a common mood disorder often characterized by feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a lack of interest in things you once loved, among other things. There are many different types of depression, including persistent depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, and one of the most common — major depression.
Major depression is also referred to as classic depression, unipolar depression, or major depressive disorder. Compared to persistent depression, major depression episodes may only happen a few times during a lifetime, but they can also happen quite frequently, depending on the person and their circumstances. What is unique to major depression is the severity of episodes and the fact that they often interfere with a person’s job, relationships, and ability to perform daily tasks.
Symptoms of Major Depression
Although other types of depression can include many of these same symptoms, people suffering from major depression usually experience a larger number of symptoms that are also usually more severe.
Depression is different for everyone, and symptoms can change over time. But if you have at least five of these symptoms spanning a two-week period, you may have major depression.
- Persistent, all-consuming sadness
- Loss of interest in things that once brought pleasure
- Difficulty concentrating or remembering
- Decreased energy
- Changes in eating habits
- Feelings of helplessness or guilt
- Insomnia or excessive sleeping
- Unexplained aches and pains
- Constant worry and anxiety

Risk Factors for Major Depression
Depression is a complex mood disorder that can be rooted in a variety of environmental, biological, and psychological factors. Some of the risk factors include a personal history of mental illness, drug or alcohol misuse, and stressful events such as divorce, critical illness, or the loss of a loved one.
Depression affects everyone differently, and two people with the same risk factors may have completely different experiences with regard to developing depression. It can be difficult to determine the exact cause of someone’s depression, and you may feel as though there is no obvious reason for it — but that doesn’t mean that it’s not real. If you’re struggling with symptoms, it’s important to seek major depression treatment as soon as possible.
