Topic 8.4
What major shift occurred in our understanding of depressive disorders?
The understanding of depressive disorders has remained the same throughout history.
Depressive disorders were considered purely genetic until recently.
Depression is now understood to be always a response to traumatic events.
They are no longer seen solely as a reaction to environmental factors but also involve genetic predisposition.
