MOOD [AFFECTIVE] DISORDERS (F30-F39)
F32 Depressive episode
In typical mild, moderate, or severe depressive episodes, the patient suffers from lowering
of mood, reduction of energy, and decrease in activity. Capacity for enjoyment, interest, and
concentration is reduced, and marked tiredness after even minimum effort is common. Sleep is
usually disturbed and appetite diminished. Self-esteem and self-confidence are almost always
reduced and, even in the mild form, some ideas of guilt or worthlessness are often present. The
lowered mood varies little from day to day, is unresponsive to circumstances and may be accompanied by so-called “somatic” symptoms, such as loss of interest and pleasurable feelings,
waking in the morning several hours before the usual time, depression worst in the morning,
marked psychomotor retardation, agitation, loss of appetite, weight loss, and loss of libido.
Depending upon the number and severity of the symptoms, a depressive episode may be specified as mild, moderate or severe.
