Depressive Disorder

Whenever we feel particularly unhappy, we are likely to describe ourselves as “depressed.” In all likelihood, we are merely responding to sad events, fatigue, or unhappy thoughts. However, normal dejection is seldom severe enough to influence daily functioning significantly or persist very long. Depressive disorders, on the other hand, have no redeeming characteristics. They bring severe and long-lasting psychological pain that may intensify as time goes by. Those who suffer from such disorders may lose their will to carry out the
simplest of life’s activities; some even lose their will to live. These cause significant impairment in their day – to – day functioning at work, home and/or interpersonal relationships.
