AB Depression  is  a  highly  prevalent  and  disabling  mental  illness  characterized  primarily  by  abnormalities  of  mood,  cognition  and  behavior.  Individuals  with  major  depression  frequently  experience  anhedonia,  depressed  mood,  negative  self-referential  thinking,  impaired  concentration,  suicidal  ideation,  abnormal  psychomotor  activity,  and  variable  changes  in  appetite  and  sleep.  Major  depression  is  among  the  most  studied  idiopathic  psychiatric  conditions,  with  an  increasingly  well-understood  neurobiology.  These  insights  are  a  pre-requisite  to  the  development  of  more  targeted  therapeutic  strategies,  and  can  be  helpful  in  understanding  this  disorder  in  the  context  of  medical  illness.
