Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), commonly called depression, is a mental disorder that negatively impacts a person’s life with the overwhelming sadness, emptiness, and an overall lack of hope. When this lasts at least two weeks with low mood, which is present across most situations, it is considered impairing your way of life. Consequently, this is often accompanied by low self-esteem, loss of interest in things you used to love, low energy, and pain without a clear reason. However, MDD is not your fault, it can happen without warning and without a trigger.
Treatment-Resistant Depression (TRD) is a term used when there is a poor response to the medication designed to treat depression. A poor response can be from either the medication not actually improving the negative symptoms of depression, or that side effects of the medication are unacceptable.
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is an anxiety-based condition recognized as its own unique mental health disorder due to its complex nature. OCD is defined as obsessive thoughts and the compulsive actions taken in an effort to stop the anxiety that occurs because of the constant worrying over these obsessive thoughts. A common theme of OCD is being overly concerned with one specific area of typical life: such as cleanliness, needing everything to be “just right,” or obsessively focusing on a bad thing happening.
