Depressive disorders:

The term depression refers to a prolonged period of low mood and energy, feelings of sadness and possible dejection, as well as isolation at times. Depressive disorders are usually diagnosed when an individual’s low mood or depression is prolonged enough to interfere with an individual’s activities of daily living.

Depressive disorders usually affect individuals through disturbance of mood and energy which is frequently accompanied by symptoms of anxiety. The prevalence of depressive disorders is very high among the general population as well as in comparison to other mental health disorders.

Research and clinical experience has found that the prevalence of depression among the general population may be about 10% and is frequently the focus of clinical attention due to its high prevalence, and at times its severity. Depressive disorders can be very disabling. Also, in addition to the symptoms of depression, it is also believed that close to 50% of individuals diagnosed with anxiety disorders also meet the criteria for a depressive disorder.
