Major Depressive Disorder
Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is a severe form of depression involving a persistent depressed mood or loss of pleasure — plus other symptoms — nearly every day for at least two weeks. It can profoundly affect work, relationships, and physical health. It is also highly treatable.
Common Symptoms
- Depressed mood most of the day, nearly every day
- Markedly reduced interest or pleasure
- Significant weight or appetite change
- Insomnia or sleeping too much
- Fatigue or loss of energy
- Worthlessness or excessive guilt
- Recurrent thoughts of death or suicide
