Recognized by the World Health Organization as the fourth leading cause of disability and death in the world as of 2001, depression is a major, multi-modal disorder that affects a person’s mood, physical health, and behavior. It has been reported that as of the year 2020, Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) will be the second leading burden of disease — behind ischemic heart disease. Consequently, it is vital for researchers and clinicians to treat adequately this illness and mitigate its manifestations.
