Abstract:

Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is the most common mental health disorder in the United States as well as all over the world. According to the CDC, MDD affects more than 16.1 million American adults, or about 6.7% of the U.S. population age 18 and older in a given year. People suffering from MDD experience sadness, anhedonia, feelings of guilt, loss of energy, lack of concentration, loss in appetite, and psychomotor symptoms with possible suicidal ideation. It is a mental disease that unfortunately is still marginalized and ostracized in society today. We wrote this case report in hopes of raising awareness for depression and how it can affect individuals through secondary pathways.
