Depressive Disorders (Intro Psych Tutorial #236)

In this video I describe the symptoms and prevalence of several disorders in the DSM-5 category of Depressive Disorders with a focus on Major Depressive Disorder. I describe the symptoms and prevalence of MDD, patterns such as seasonal pattern and peripartum onset, in addition to Persistent Depressive Disorder, formerly known as dysthymia.

Please note that the symptoms described in this video are not comprehensive and there are other symptoms involved in diagnosis for each of these disorders.

You surely read this a lot in the comments, but here I am saying it yet again that your videos are immensely helpful. Some of the minute details that you give, like why people don’t commit suicide during the worst part of depression or how diagnosing bipolar can be difficult when person is going through a depressive episode, really add the nuance to a seemingly simple topic. Thanks a bunch!

Your videos help me so much for my college finals! I've been watching your videos since around 2nd semester? Now I'm on 4th semester. Your way of explaining things makes the materials easy to understand and really help me gain better understanding, especially since I'm not a native speaker and also because online classes aren't helpful enough for me lol. Thank you so much!! :)
