Depression is a mental state characterized by feeling of sadness, loneliness, despair of self esteem and self reproach; accompanying signs including psychomotor retardation, withdrawal from interpersonal contact and vegetative symptoms such as insomnia and anorexia. Depression is a mood disorder. Mood is a pervasive and sustained feeling tone that is experienced internally that influences a person’s behavior and perception of the world. Mood disorders always result in impaired interpersonal, social and occupational functioning.
