Major depressive disorder, also known as clinical depression, is a psychological mood disorder that is characterized by prolonged deep thoughts and feelings of sadness and hopelessness. An individual who struggles with depression often lacks energy, motivation, or interest. When depression is left untreated, unhealthy and harmful behaviors such as addiction, substance abuse, and sleep problems may develop. Those who suffer from major depressive disorder are typically in need of professional counseling and/or psychiatric evaluation in order to help understand and regain control of their emotions and behaviors.
