Please note that this is the Wikipedia article that covers depressed mood as an everyday emotion, a subject in normal psychology. It is not an article about the psychiatric disorder known as major depressive disorder, or "clinical depression" or sometimes simply "depression". Please add content specific to that or any other psychiatric syndrome (such as dysthymia, bipolar disorder, etc) to its respective article. --Anthonyhcole (talk) 04:34, 27 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
An emotion is short-term, and a mood is long-term, so I'm not sure what you mean by your first sentence. Furthermore, the article mentions that depression is classified as a disorder medically (second sentence), but possibly the article's intent has drifted since you wrote your message. To me it seems like both articles (Depression (mood), Major depressive disorder) are both about the same topic, but from different perspectives; respectively layman and medical. I don't really see another difference. Yodo9000 (talk) 22:12, 11 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Depression is a normal part of everyday life, but MDD is characterized by changes in mood that last about two weeks, and occur cyclically. Depression normally passes, but the cyclical nature of MDD can be life long. All mood disorders, as far as I'm aware, are cyclical in nature and tend to be very difficult to treat. Mood, while long-term, doesn't typically last more than two weeks, or recur. Lofenyy (talk) 08:39, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
