Mood Disorder

Depression is a type of mood disorder characterized by a continuous sense of melancholy and

a loss of interest (Kring & Johnson, 2018). It affects how you feel, think, and behave, leading to

2018). Many persons with depression have significant symptoms that interfere with their day-to-
