Major Depressive Disorder

Major Depressive Disorder is a mental health condition characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a loss of interest in daily activities. It involves changes in mood, thoughts, energy levels, and physical health, making it difficult to function normally. It’s more than temporary sadness; it can significantly impact a person’s quality of life. The exact cause isn’t fully understood, but it often involves a combination of genetic, biological, environmental, and psychological factors. Treatment typically includes psychotherapy, medication, or a combination of both, helping individuals manage symptoms and improve their well-being.
