Special Issue on Depression

Depression is a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest. Also called major depressive disorder or clinical depression, it affects how you feel, think and behave and can lead to a variety of emotional and physical problems. You may have trouble doing normal day-to-day activities, and sometimes you may feel as if life isn't worth living.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original researches and review articles on exploring depression. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Symptoms

• Types of depression
• Depression in children and teens
• Depression in older adults
• Complications

Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal at Paper Submission System.
