4. Major Depression and Treatment-Resistant Depression
Major depression is a debilitating condition marked by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a loss of interest in life. This condition often leads to difficulty in daily functioning, with some individuals experiencing suicidal thoughts or attempts.
When depression fails to respond to conventional treatments, it becomes known as treatment-resistant depression. This form of depression is particularly dangerous, as it often requires more intensive and individualized interventions to manage effectively.
