What is Depression
Overview
This CBT handout from the Centre for Clinical Interventions defines Major Depression by distinguishing it from everyday sadness based on intensity, duration, and functional impairment. It outlines core symptoms across mood, cognition, physical health, and social interaction, noting features like diurnal variation and anxiety. The resource is intended for clients to understand that depression is a common syndrome affecting diverse demographics rather than a personal failing.
