Abstract

Depression is one of the most commonly observed medical conditions throughout the world. The number of studies examining depression has been rapidly increasing in recent years. It has been observed that untreated depression may lead to unexpected early mortality and can have a negative impact on a patient’s general health conditions. On the other hand, with the proper treatment, the life quality of the depressed patient can be enhanced. There are different types and explanations for depression. This review aims to explain and summarize the prevalence, diagnosis criteria, risk factors, etiology and description of depression. The purpose of this review study is to explain depression and its associated risk factors.
