Jeder Zehnte wird im Leben von einer schweren Depression befallen, viele mögliche Auslöser sind beteiligt. Der Psychiater Prof. Dr. Dr. Dr. Florian Holsboer ist Leiter des Max-Planck-Instituts für Psychiatrie. Er erklärt die vielfältigen Aspekte einer Krankheit, die immer noch als Stigma gilt.
A mental illness whose main symptoms are sadness and a loss of joy, motivation, and interest. Current classification systems distinguish between different types of depression.
The term refers to a characteristic that is viewed negatively by society or a group and leads to the discrediting of individuals who possess this characteristic. Stigmas can refer, for example, to members of certain ethnic groups or marginalized social groups. Even a diagnosis of a mental disorder or an illness such as AIDS can be accompanied by stigmatization, depending on the social environment.
