***How to Get a VA Disability for Depression***  Symptoms of Depression in Veterans - According to the Mayo Clinic, Depression is a “mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest.”  Clinical Depression is most often diagnosed as Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), and it affects how you feel, think, and behave and can lead to a range of mental, emotional, physical, and social problems.  Veterans may have trouble accomplishing normal day-to-day activities, you may be too depressed to leave your home or get out of bed, and sometimes you may even feel as if life isn’t worth living (suicidal thoughts).  Pre-screening for Major Depressive Disorder typically begins with having a Veteran complete the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9).
