Living with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) can have a profound impact on one's quality of life, extending far beyond the immediate symptoms of depression. In this episode, we explore the long-term effects of MDD on functional outcomes, and how it can shape daily life, relationships, and overall well-being. From the subtle changes in daily routines to the significant effects on mental and physical health, we delve into the often-overlooked consequences of living with depression. By examining the ways in which MDD can influence quality of life, we hope to raise awareness and promote a deeper understanding of this complex and often misunderstood condition.
