  • Clinical Psychology

Context:

  • Recurrent brief depression (RBD) is a distinct diagnostic entity characterized by frequent, short depressive episodes.
  • RBD affects a significant portion of the young population (14.6% up to age 35).
  • The disorder is linked to substantial social and familial disruptions and elevated suicide attempt rates.

Purpose:

  • To define the characteristics and prevalence of recurrent brief depression.
  • To highlight the associated psychosocial disturbances and suicide risk.
  • To underscore the current lack of effective treatment options for RBD.

Summary:

  • Recurrent brief depression involves repeated depressive episodes lasting a few days, occurring at least monthly for a year.
