Define major depression
What will be an ideal response?
Everyone has times of feeling discouraged. Major depression is much more intense and prolonged. People with a major depression feel sad and helpless most of the day every day for weeks at a time. They don't enjoy anything and can hardly even imagine enjoying anything. They lack energy, feel worthless, contemplate suicide, have trouble sleeping, and cannot concentrate. When they have unpleasant thoughts, they have trouble getting rid of them (Foland-Ross et al., 2013). Changes in the synapses to the nucleus accumbens make it less responsive to reward (Russo & Nestler, 2013).
