Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)

Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is a mental health condition characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and loss of interest in activities once enjoyed. It affects thoughts, emotions, and physical well-being, often causing changes in sleep, appetite, energy levels, and concentration. MDD can interfere significantly with daily life, relationships, and work. It is rooted in a combination of genetic, biological, environmental, and psychological factors. While it can be serious, it is treatable through therapies such as counseling, medications, or a combination of both, helping individuals regain stability and improve their quality of life.
