Major Depression
A depression serious enough that the person needs to be hospitalized. It is often "chronic," which means the person keeps having episodes of depression over months or years. It is also not "situational," which means it is not linked to a particular situation or event. Major depression is more serious than typical depression. Most people diagnosed with depression get help from a therapist and may take antidepressant drugs, but they do not need to go to a hospital. They can stay at home and keep up with their jobs, other responsibilities, and relationships.
