what is double depression
|
| Double depression refers to a condition where an individual experiences both major depressive disorder (MDD) and persistent depressive disorder (PDD), also known as dysthymia, simultaneously. This unique form of depression presents a challenging combination of symptoms, including prolonged periods of low mood, feelings of hopelessness, and loss of interest in daily activities. While MDD typically involves severe episodes of depression interspersed with periods of remission, Double depression entails a continuous cycle of moderate to severe symptoms. It\'s essential for individuals experiencing these symptoms to seek professional help and support to effectively manage and treat double depression. |
