Talk:Depression (mood)

Notice

User:ClueBot III/DoNotArchiveUntil Please note that this is the Wikipedia article that covers depressed mood as an everyday emotion, a subject in normal psychology. It is not an article about the psychiatric disorder known as major depressive disorder, or "clinical depression" or sometimes simply "depression". Please add content specific to that or any other psychiatric syndrome (such as dysthymia, bipolar disorder, etc) to its respective article. --Anthonyhcole (talk) 04:34, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

An emotion is short term, and a mood is long term, so I'm not sure what you mean by your first sentence. Furthermore, the article mentions that depression is classified as a disorder medically (second sentence), but possibly the article's intent has drifted since you wrote your message. To me it seems like both articles (Depression (mood), Major depressive disorder) are both about the same topic, but from different perspectives; respectively layman and medical. I don't really see another difference. Yodo9000 (talk) 22:12, 11 October 2022 (UTC)

Depression is a normal part of everyday life, but MDD is characterized by changes in mood that last about two weeks, and occur cyclically. Depression normally passes, but the cyclical nature of MDD can be life long. All mood disorders, as far as I'm aware, are cyclical in nature and tend to be very difficult to treat. Mood, while long-term, doesn't typically last more than two weeks, or recur. Lofenyy (talk) 08:39, 18 February 2023 (UTC)

There is some research data that is missing vital information. For example on Citation 40, talks about how people with chronic pain are more likely to have suicidal ideations, however, this research mainly focuses on veterans and does not capture the general population.

Depression.

As of someone who is going through it currently, you tend to feel acts of self-hatred or self-harm due to the complications of depression -Midnight Midnightslaysagain (talk) 00:36, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

Typo in the first paragraph

"Experiences ... gives" should be "give"

"Experiences that would normally bring a person pleasure or joy gives reduced pleasure or joy" Agamidae (talk) 09:57, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

File:Yes check.svg Done: Check out the article. I rewrote the lead more broadly and will check to make sure that it is cited correctly in a second.

Looks like it's mostly covered in the body. WP:CITELEAD.

sorry to say, but there's another typo :)

depress instead of depression:

"Additionally, depress can be a normal temporary reaction" Agamidae (talk) 13:02, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

@Agamidae, File:Yes check.svg Done. Holler if you need anything else.
