Abstract

Major depressive disorder is a condition marked by low or irritable moods, along with physical symptoms such as problems with sleep, energy, and appetite. Treatment options include counseling/psychotherapy (e.g. interpersonal/attachment-based psychotherapy to address interpersonal stresses), lifestyle interventions (e.g. sleep hygiene, proper nutrition, regular exercise), as well as medication options (such as SSRIs).
