Overview

Depression is a common and serious mood disorder defined by persistent low mood and loss of interest or pleasure, accompanied by cognitive, motivational, and neurovegetative changes such as altered sleep and appetite, fatigue, impaired concentration, feelings of worthlessness or guilt, and, in severe cases, suicidal ideation. Major depressive disorder and related conditions arise from interacting biological, psychological, and social factors, including monoaminergic and stress-hormone dysregulation, neuroplastic change, genetic vulnerability, and adverse life events, and they confer substantial disability and medical comorbidity. Depression frequently co-occurs with chronic disease, disability, dementia, and metabolic disturbance, and it varies across the lifespan and the perinatal period. Research relevant to this topic includes network analysis of depressive symptoms among teachers, depression and personality in nursing students, postpartum depression in relation to beliefs about motherhood and perfectionism, depression and social support in people with disability, the link between depression and dementia and the efficacy of behavioral management, differentiation of depression from apathy in chronic kidney disease, and socioenvironmental correlates such as noise and socioeconomic conditions. Methods span surveys, cohort and cross-sectional studies, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses. The journal publishes peer-reviewed research on the determinants, course, measurement, and treatment of depression.
