What exactly is Major Depressive Disorder ? I was diagnosed with it but offered no explanation?

---

I was just wondering what the difference is between regular depression and Major Depressive Disorder is. And just the symptoms and causes and just information. Thanks
Major Depressive Disorder is characterize by:
1. You are depressed almost everyday for most of the day and occur continuously for at least 2 weeks.
2. Symptoms: depressed mood, can't sleep/too much sleep, can't concentrate, can't make decisions, can't feel pleasure, increase/decrease of body weight more than five percent over 1 month.

If you look at it on a horizontal continuum, major depressive disorder people are always below the baseline of "normal". Basically, for normal depression, people recover are return above baseline pretty quick, but for major depressive disorder, they are below the baseline for weeks.  (+ info)

Is Clinical Depression the same as Major Depressive Disorder?Or is it a different illness?

Hi how is everyone? I am 21 years old and for the last 5 or so months i have been treated for clinical depression with Fluoxetine(Prozac). The dose was recently upped to 40mg by my GP in Glasgow.Thank you for reading.
Yes its the same i 16 and i have exactly the same as you apart from i had an allergic reaction to prozac blah blah blah you don't need to know. I've worked out that in england doctors tend to call it clinical rather than an major depressive disorder. i have no idea why but in america and places like that the tend to call it a major depressive disorder.

If you ever need somebody to talk to I'm here don't be afraid to ask.Its easier to talk to somebody you don't know.  (+ info)

My dear Linda,
May God bless you.
The clinical depression is same as major depression if the person feels isolated from the society and has very poor expression of his or her feelings.
In your case, it may be possible for the drug to work and relieve your depression, but in reality, when we change some of our obsessive thoughts to more practical thoughts and combine it with a good life style of work, exercise and nourishment along with proper rest and recreation, it works the best for our recovery. Depression is not a permanent disease that can never be improved or cured.Please remember this.

Would this cause an adolescent to develop major depressive disorder and severe social anxiety?

---

I was wondering, if both parents had the mental disorder that caused them to want the adolescent to be perfect.

Also, if the mother constantly accused the child of things the child did not do and stated she was jealous because the father purchased the child clothing for the child's birthday and christmas. Also, the mother had some sort of eating disorder with side effects of a bad mood.

Yet, the father was nice and had a very stable mood. Although the father was intimately distant, even when physically present.

Would that have any contribution to an adolescent developing major depressive disorder and severe social anxiety?
I think my parents have mental disorders, but they are probably related to drug abuse.

They grew up in the 70s and did random drugs.

Also, no one else in the family has any sort of mental disorder.
Well, I do not have risky behavior or bipolar (manic depression). I also am not trying to find someone to fill the father void.
In fact, I just think that both of my parents are wack jobs. That is why I am able to point out all of their problems.

They are quite possible more sane than most individuals. I just have OCPD and hold everyone to high standards.
I had a ton of friends growing up, so I did not have a lack of love. I just have a fear of not being perfect now.
That could certainly contribute. It really depends on the adolescent, though. Some people are just more resilient.  (+ info)

Do i suffer from Major Depressive Disorder?

Is this Major Depressive Disorder?
Hi guys. I am 21 years old. I had a 9 day spell in hospital earlier this year with a "moderate depressive episode".Ever since,for the last 5 or so months i have been treated with Fluoxetine 40mg for my depression. I haven't really asked my doctor much about the illness but is it Major Depressive Disorder?Considering i am being treated with Prozac? Thank you for your time and have a good day.
I wouldn't think so. I am concerned though if that is all you are being treated with. There is great therapy that works even better than drugs for depression. Try and see a psychologist that does cognitive behaviour therapy. it is easy but best of all IT WORKS!!
all the best  (+ info)
