A member asked:
How do clinical depression and local episodic depression differ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I am not familiar: With term "local episodic depression". Clinical depression is not standard psychiatric terminology. There is a term called episodic mood disorder which is used to refer to bipolar spectrum disorders. The term clinical depression helps to differentiate a depressed mood from a more substantial depression.
