उत्तर
- Major Depressive Disorder, also known as Clinical Depression, is the recognized psychological condition affecting Rohit.
- There could be two reasons for this psychological disorder: the long isolation that affected his mental health and the financial loss brought on by the restaurant's ending.
- The four signs of major depression include:
- depression for most of the day, almost every day;
- loss of interest or delight in practically all activities;
- severe daily fluctuations in hunger, either a decrease or a rise in weight, and
- Almost daily, either hypersomnia or lack of sleep. Major depressive disorder cannot be diagnosed without the presence of at least five symptoms, which include a gloomy mood or a lack of interest or enjoyment in almost all activities, according to the DSM-5. In addition, the symptoms must significantly impact social, vocational, or other crucial domains of functioning or cause significant discomfort.
