About Depression.

Depression is a common and serious mood disorder that affects the central nervous system, influencing emotional regulation, cognition, and physical functioning across pediatric, adult, and geriatric populations.

It is clinically defined by persistent feelings of sadness, emptiness, or irritability, accompanied by anhedonia, fatigue, alterations in sleep or appetite, impaired concentration, feelings of worthlessness, and potentially recurrent thoughts of death or suicide.

Pathophysiologically, the condition is multifactorial, involving complex disruptions in monoaminergic and glutamatergic neurotransmission, neuroplasticity, neuroendocrine stress pathways such as the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, and immune-mediated neuroinflammation.
