Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) Overview

Major Depressive Disorder is a prevalent psychiatric condition driven by dysregulation of monoaminergic neurotransmission, neuroinflammatory pathways, and HPA axis dysfunction, resulting in functional neuroplastic changes. It presents with persistent low mood, anhedonia, cognitive slowing, sleep and appetite disturbance, fatigue, and suicidal ideation in severe cases. Diagnosis is clinical using DSM-5 criteria; PHQ-9 scoring, functional impairment, and suicidality gauge severity. First-line treatment combines SSRIs or SNRIs with structured psychotherapy; treatment-resistant cases may warrant augmentation, ketamine, or neuromodulation. Regular mood and side-effect monitoring guides dose optimization. Prognosis improves with early intervention; suicidal ideation mandates immediate escalation, while long-term care prioritizes remission, relapse prevention, and restored quality of life.
