Depression
According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV), a depressed mood is often reported as being: “depressed, sad, hopeless, discouraged, or ‘down in the dumps’.” Such a mixture can include (but is not limited to) anger, fear, anxiety, despair, guilt, apathy, and/or grief, in addition to what many people would describe as typical “sadness”. It is harmful for the human body and can affect proper functioning of the brain. As specified by DSM-IV, episodes of depressed mood are a core feature of the following psychological disorders: Major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, dysthymia, schizoaffective disorder, seasonal affective disorder, cyclothymia, postnatal depression, adjustment disorder with depressed mood, and depressive disorder not otherwise specified.
