Understanding clinical depression

What is Clinical Depression?

Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), or clinical depression, is more than just feeling sad. It is a serious mood disorder that causes persistent feelings of sadness, emptiness, and a loss of interest or pleasure in activities, significantly impacting daily life, relationships, and physical health.

But here is the truth: depression is manageable and treatable. With empathetic and comprehensive care, individuals can lift the fog, rediscover their joy, and regain control over their lives.

At Moladav Health, we remind families and patients: Your struggle is real, but so is your potential for healing. You are not alone.

Recognizing the Signs of Depression

Diagram showing common depression symptoms

Symptoms of depression can manifest in emotional, cognitive, and physical ways. Recognizing them is the first step toward getting help:

Emotional Symptoms

(How you feel)

  • Persistent sadness or despair
  • Loss of pleasure (Anhedonia)

Behavioral Symptoms

(How you act)

  • Social withdrawal & Isolation
  • Irritability or restlessness

Physical & Cognitive Symptoms

  • Significant change in appetite or weight (gain or loss)
  • Insomnia or excessive sleeping
  • Fatigue, low energy, and difficulty concentrating

If these symptoms last for most of the day, nearly every day, for at least two weeks, professional help is necessary.

Causes and risk factors of depression

Causes & Risk Factors

Depression is rarely caused by a single factor. It is often a complex interplay of genetic vulnerability, brain chemistry, and life events, including:

  • 🧬Family History: A genetic predisposition can increase risk.
  • 🧠Biological Differences: Changes in neurotransmitter function and brain structure.
  • 💔Trauma/Loss: Major life events, chronic stress, or grief.
  • 🏥Medical Conditions: Chronic illness, pain, or certain medications.
We look beyond the symptoms to address the root causes, ensuring a treatment plan that is holistic and deeply personalized.

MDD involves complex brain changes. Trying to 'snap out' only leads to self-blame and further isolation.
