Persistent Depressive Disorder (PDD)

The word depression is derived from the Latin verb deprimo, which means “reduce, suppress.” The question is whether a person in depression feels distressed or whether he is actually suppressing something. The following three themes can provide an answer:
1. Aggression
2. Responsibility.
3. Resignation

Persistent depressive disorder (PDD) is a mild to moderate chronic depression that does not go away. It is less severe than a major depressive disorder, but persists. It is characterized by severe grief, loss of vital energy, feelings of self-inadequacy, irritability, sudden decrease or increase in weight, insomnia, and loss of interest in activities that usually bring joy. These symptoms can continue for several weeks to months, and if depression remains untreated, it can completely destroy a person’s life.

Depression is a state when you sometimes fall into negative emotions, you can’t eliminate. Clinical depression is a serious ailment that affects the emotional, mental, and physical level. It can be a combination of mood swings, self-destructive thoughts, and physical manifestations.
