Depression is an affective disorder present throughout human history, characterized by feelings of sadness, pessimism and low self-esteem. Medical care is essential for proper diagnosis and treatment. Estimates suggest that more than 300 million people worldwide suffer from depression, which differs from normal mood fluctuations. When chronic and intense, it can cause great suffering and dysfunction, and can even lead to suicide.
