El trastorno depresivo, también conocido como depresión clínica, es un trastorno del estado de ánimo que causa tristeza persistente y pérdida de interés. Puede afectar significativamente la forma en que una persona piensa, siente y se comporta, y puede provocar pérdida de motivación y concentración. La depresión no es simplemente un estado de ánimo melancólico; no es una debilidad, sino un trastorno que puede requerir tratamiento a largo plazo, el cual puede incluir una combinación de medicamentos y terapia psicológica.
