When we refer to depression in the following pages, we
are talking about "clinical depression." Clinical depression is a
serious medical illness that negatively affects how you feel, the way
you think and how you act. Individuals with clinical depression are
unable to function as they used to. Often they have lost interest in
activities that were once enjoyable to them, and feel sad and hopeless
for extended periods of time. Clinical depression is not the same as
feeling sad or depressed for a few days and then feeling better. It can
affect your body, mood, thoughts, and behavior. It can change your
eating habits, how you feel and think, your ability to work and study,
and how you interact with people. People who suffer from clinical
depression often report that they "don't feel like themselves anymore."

Major depressive disorder (MDD) (also known as

unipolar depression, or unipolar disorder) is a mental disorder characterized by an

and by loss of interest or pleasure in normally
enjoyable activities. |

Bipolar
Symptoms and Treatments in Children |
Since 1980, criteria for diagnosing bipolar disorder
in adults have also been used to diagnose mania in children, with some
modifications to adjust for age. Similarly, to diagnose a child or
adolescent
with bipolar disorder, there need be at least one period of mania that
is manifested by a distinct period of abnormally and persistently
elevated,
expansive or irritable mood, lasting at least one week or any duration
if hospitalization is required. |
