When diagnosing someone for MDD, if they have _______ or __________, they are not longer eligible for MDD.
mania or hypomania
Major Depressive Disorder
- Depressive episodes are often time-limited
- __ -__ months on average
- Greater than 2 years –> chronic MDD (10-20% of diagnoses)
- Remission of Symptoms
- Greater than 2 months w/o clinically significant symptoms
- Inter-episode recovery (i.e, experiencing NO symptoms?)
- Recurrence
- 25-40% within 2 years
- 60% within 5 years

Major Depressive Disorder
- Prevalence
- 20.9% lifetime, 8.6% 1-year
- Gender
- 1 in __ females vs 1 in __ males (adults)
- 1:1 male to female during childhood
- 1:__ male to female by adulthood
- Age of onset
- Late adolescences-early adulthood
- Later onset (≥60 years old) - difficult to determine due to other health related illnesses (e.g., dementia).
- Comorbidity
- _______ disorders, _________ use disorders, eating disoders, personality disorders
–So if you meet criteria for MDD, there’s a high chance that you’ll likely meet criteria for another disorder as well ( around 56% chance)
