In the fields of psychology and psychiatry, the terms depression or depressed refer to both expected and pathologically chronic or severe levels of sadness, perceived helplessness, disinterest, and other related emotions and behaviours. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders DSM states that a depressed mood is often reported as being: depressed, sad, hopeless, discouraged, or 'down in the dumps'. In traditional colloquy, depressed is often synonymous with sad, but both clinical and non-clinical depression can also refer to a conglomeration of more than one feeling. Such a mixture can include but is not limited to anger, fear, anxiety, despair, guilt, apathy, and/or grief, in addition to what many people would describe as typical sadness. Contents 1 Biology 2 Depression as mechanism of adaptation 3 Psychological disorders with depression 4 See also 5 References 6 External links Biology See also: Neurobiology Biological influences of depression are varied, but can include herary, hormonal, and seasonal factors, stress, illness, neurotransmitter malfunction, and long-term exposure to dampness and mold1 and to aerosol exposure via the frequent use of air fresheners and other aerosols in the home,2, all of which are more fully discussed in the major depressive disorder article. Depression as mechanism of adaptation While a depressed mood is usually referred to and perceived as negative, it can sometimes be subtly beneficial in helping a person adapt to circumstance. For example, physical illness, such as influenza, can lead to feelings of psychological malaise and depression that seem, at first, only to compound an already unpleasant situation. However, the experience of depression, or feeling down, often results in physical inertia, which leads to the compulsion to rest. The fleeting helplessness and immobility of the physically ill may also serve to elicit care from others.citation needed From an evolutionary standpoint, some argue that depression could be at least partially related to atavistic fears that were originally based on real dangers. Paul Keedwell, in his book, How Sadness Survived: The Evolutionary Basis of Depression, suggests that, because social support and interdependence were important features of the human ancestral environment, the peer group could have offered extra help to the depressed person until the condition resolved. Further, ...a depressed person may change the attitudes of other people around him, making them more sympathetic to his needs and therefore giving him a long term social or reproductive advantage.3 Temporary depression, psychologist Thomas Moore, Ph.D., suggests, can, in some cases, not only ...provide a rest from the hyperactivity of the good times..., but can also be assigned value in the overall spectrum of human experience, and might enrich the ways in which members of a community relate to, and support, one another. In some cases, Moore says, dark times can leave their mark and make you a person of insight and compassion. 4 Psychological disorders with depression Episodes of depressed mood are a core feature of the following psychological disorders, as specified by the DSM-IV: Major depressive disorder Dysthymia Bipolar disorder Cyclothymia Schizoaffective disorder Seasonal affective disorder Adjustment disorder with depressed mood See also Grief Emotion Clinical depression Depression and natural therapies References ^ Dampness and Mold in the Home and Depression: An Examination of Mold-Related Illness and Perceived Control of One's Home as Possible Depression Pathways Edmond D.
