Definition: What is depression?
Depression is defined as a mental disorder. The conditions can occur as a depressive episode that lasts a few months. Others experience recurrent depression, with one in five sufferers becoming chronically depressed. The conditions cause a feeling of sadness. Typical symptoms include a lack of drive, loss of interest and a depressed, monotonous mood.
The indication at a glance: Symptoms, prevalence and causes of depression
The best-known symptoms are probably a permanently low mood and a lack of motivation. Those affected suffer from a lack of interest and constant dejection, are mentally less productive or have stressful feelings of emptiness and even suicidal thoughts.
In Germany, it is estimated that around four million people suffer from depression that requires treatment. The illness can occur at any age and is twice as common in women as in men.
The causes are diverse and vary from person to person. People with a predisposition are more likely to suffer from depression. In addition, there are also links to hormonal disorders, certain thyroid diseases or nutrient deficiencies. Concrete triggers of depression are often a stroke of fate, a negative experience or stressful life circumstances.
