> Should they be lumped in together?
As is listed in the DSM IV, major depressive disorder must present with at least one of the following:
1. Depressed mood, sadness, feelings of emptiness.
2. Loss of interest or pleasure.These two things need not be lumped together to qualify as MDD.
My depression is a sort of hybrid between #1 and #2. When I was younger, depressed mood predominated. Now, loss of interest and pleasure are more prominent, along with cognitive impairments.
