Clinical depression is a mental health condition that affects almost 50% of the population, impacting women more than men. Depression is a mood disorder, characterized as depressive disorder. Depression is not a passing blue mood, which almost everyone experiences from time to time, but a complex mind/body illness that interferes with everyday functioning.
It is commonly marked by negative outlook toward life, sleep problems and changes in energy levels and appetite. It alters the structure and function of nerve cells so that it disrupts the way the brain processes information and interprets experience. Despite feelings of hopelessness and worthlessness, depression is a treatable condition.
