Depression

[Doozer]

After reading about the guilt of some punters I decided to post this.


Formal Definition of Depression


The following criteria are taken from the DSM-IV, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 4th edition, published by the American Psychiatric Association, 1994.

For your convenience, a general listing of signs and symptoms of depression, the translated version, follows the formal diagnostic criteria, for ease in interpreting the symptoms.

For a diagnosis of a major depression:

1. At least 5 of the following symptoms.
2. These symptoms must be present during the same 2 week period.
3. These symptoms must represent a change from a previous level of functioning.

o Depressed mood, nearly every day during most of the day.
o Marked diminished interest or pleasure in almost all activities.
o Significant weight loss (when not dieting), weight gain, or a change in appetite.
o Insomnia or hypersomnia (excess sleep).
o Psychomotor agitation or psychomotor retardation.
