What is Clinical Depression (Major Depressive Disorder)?



Clinical depression, also known as major depressive disorder (MDD), is a mental health condition that causes a persistently low or depressed mood and a loss of interest in activities that once brought joy. Clinical depression can also affect how you sleep, your appetite and your ability to think clearly. These symptoms must be present for at least two weeks for a diagnosis.



Clinical depression is a chronic condition, but it usually occurs in episodes, which can last several weeks or months. This is different from persistent depressive disorder, which is mild or moderate depression that lasts for at least two years.

What is anger?



Anger is a normal, healthy emotion that usually arises in response to a perceived threat, insult, or injustice. Recognizing the gap between expectations and experiences (current situation) can help manage anger. This gap often triggers frustration when reality doesn’t meet our hopes and desires. It is crucial to recognize that the root cause of anger is internal rather than external. Often anger stems from unprocessed emotions from childhood leading to adult emotions that are disproportionate or inappropriate to the situation.



Healthy vs. Unhealthy Anger:



Healthy Anger: Motivates action against injustices such as poverty, and inequality.



Unhealthy Anger: Manifests through destructive outbursts or suppression, causing personal stress, anxiety, and even physical health problems including high blood pressure.
