What is the definition or description of: persistent depressed mood?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Typically this: refers to more than two weeks and is not solely based upon an external event. Grief from loss of a loved one would not qualify in this case, even though the depressed mood was protracted. Usually this description is reserved for chronic depression and should be treated by a mental health pro.
