A review on major depressive disorder

Abstract

Major depressive disorder is a severe mental health condition that causes mood swings in only one or two weeks. Anyone may experience this, and MDD can strike people of any age for a variety of causes. It's a potentially fatal illness characterized by low mood, disinterest, impaired thinking, and vegetative signs such erratic eating or sleeping habits. Stress, traumatic experiences as a youngster, or anything else might trigger it. If the patient is not receiving treatment, MDD may become worse. Consultation may be used to treat it. Antidepressants such as TCA, MAOI, SSRI, SNRI, and others are used to treat MDD. In addition to this, physical activity is beneficial. This study provides a general overview of MDD, the current status of targeted therapy for the treatment of MDD, as well as an analysis of the challenges this approach confronts and potential solutions.
