What Is Melancholic Depression?

/

Melancholic depression is a form of major depressive disorder (MDD) which presents with melancholic features. Although melancholic depression used to be seen as a distinct disorder, the American Psychiatric Association (APA) no longer recognizes it as a separate mental illness. Instead, melancholia is now seen as a specified for MDD — that is, a subtype of major depressive disorder.

MDD is a significant mental health condition characterized by persistent and intense feelings of sadness and hopelessness. The disorder can affect many areas of life, including work, school, and relationships. It may also impact mood and behavior as well as various physical functions, such as appetite and sleep. People with MDD often lose interest in activities they once enjoyed and have trouble getting through the day. Occasionally, they may also feel as if life isn’t worth living.

Baker’s cysts

Steve Ramsey,PhD -Public Health MSc(hon) in Med Ultrasound

Baker’s cysts are not technically true cysts; they represent distention of the gastroc.-semimembr Bursa through accumulation of fluid, which communicates with the knee joint. Baker’s cysts are usually most prevalent in patients with preexisting intra-articular knee joint pathology such as arthritis (degenerative or inflammatory) or internal derangement (meniscal or anterior cruciate ligament tears, loose bodies, etc). Although Baker’s cysts are most frequently asymptomatic, they may cause posterior knee pain, joint stiffness, and reduced range of motion.
