Major Depressive Disorder and the Leaky Gut Post Cholecystectomy
Journal Title: Medical Journal of Clinical Trials & Case Studies - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 6
Abstract
Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is the most common mental health disorder in the United States as well as all over the world. According to CDC, MDD affects more than 16.1 million American adults, or about 6.7% of the U.S. population age 18 and older in a given year. People suffering from MDD experience sadness, anhedonia, feelings of guilt, loss of energy, lack of concentration, loss in appetite, psychomotor symptoms with possible suicidal ideation. It is a mental disease that is still marginalized and ostracized in society today. We wrote this case report in hopes to raise awareness of depression that can affect individuals through secondary pathways.
