Major Depression
Major Depression, also known as Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), is a common and serious mental health condition that significantly impacts how a person feels, thinks, and handles daily activities. Characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a lack of interest or pleasure in nearly all activities, major depression affects various aspects of life, from personal relationships to professional performance. It can also cause fatigue, sleep disturbances, difficulty in focusing, and death preoccupation. This can lead to communication issues, reduced productivity, routine disruption, and self care neglect. To manage this condition, various modalities are utilized, including medications, such as antidepressants, psychotherapy, and lifestyle changes.
