Introduction
Depression is the leading cause of disability in the world. So much is known about it. There have been many scientific advances around it. Yet, suffering from it continues to increase. Part of the reason for this is the failure to fully understand what it is. And, a deeper appreciation of the DSM criteria can be a bridge for us to get a fuller understanding of Major Depressive Disorder.
