&#8216;moodiness,&#8217; or &#8216;dejection.&#8217;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">PDD is characterized by a consistent feeling of sadness &#8211; although patients are often able to function and may have short periods of feeling back to normal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">According to the DSM-5, symptoms include poor appetite or overeating, difficulty falling and staying asleep, fatigue, low self-esteem, poor concentration, difficulty making decisions, and feelings of hopelessness.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">About three percent of Americans &#8211; nearly 10 million &#8211; experience PDD at some point in their lives.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Women are more prone to develop it, as well as those with a family history of the condition.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">However, doctors aren&#8217;t entirely sure what causes it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">One theory is that it could be due to the brain producing low levels of serotonin, a hormone that affects mood and works with the sleep chemical melatonin to help control when you fall asleep and wake up.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">PDD could also be triggered by stressful or traumatic events, such as losing your job or going through a divorce.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">According to the National Institutes of Mental Health, PDD could also be linked to health conditions like diabetes and cancer due to the mental toll of living with them.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">PDD is less severe than <a style=\"font-weight: bold;\" target=\"_self\" class=\"class\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/health\/article-12094283\/One-THREE-people-clinical-depression-point-one-five-suffering-now.html\" rel=\"noopener\">major depressive disorder<\/a> (MDD), a form of depression that affects about eight percent of American adults and 15 percent of teens.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The key difference in the conditions is how long symptoms last.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">While signs of PDD have to last for two years, MDD can be diagnosed if symptoms persist for at least two months.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Additionally, MDD tends to be more severe, leading to feelings of worthlessness, weight loss, restlessness, and frequent thoughts of death.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">MDD is also more likely to interfere with relationships, school or work performance, and family responsibilities.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">PDD can be treated with antidepressants like selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and with therapy.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>            <!-- ad: https:\/\/mads.dailymail.co.uk\/v8\/dk\/health\/none\/article\/other\/inread_player.html --><\/p>\n<div class=\"column-content cleared\">\n<div class=\"shareArticles\">\n<h3 class=\"social-links-title\">Share or comment on this article:<br \/>\n                        Doctors have invented a medical name for the feeling of &#8216;meh&#8217;
