重度抑郁症是一种常见的、复发性的、损害性的疾病，它预示着未来的自杀企图、人际关系问题、失业、药物滥用和犯罪[1，2]。根据世界卫生组织的数据，目前有1.21亿人患有MDD，这是全球残疾的主要原因之一。在美国，每年因MDD造成的医疗支出、生产力损失和其他成本的经济成本是巨大的[3]。鉴于其公共卫生意义，每年都有大量的努力致力于更好地了解如何最好地评估、理解和治疗抑郁症。本期《心理学当前观点》专刊致力于介绍抑郁症领域一些最令人兴奋和最具创新性的心理学研究。在这期杂志中介绍的工作福尔斯分为几个（重叠的）类别：（a）抑郁症评估，（B）抑郁症的病因，（c）抑郁症的维持，（d）创新的治疗方法，（e）既定的治疗方法，（f）治疗反应的预测因子。我将简要描述每个类别中的文章，希望这篇简短的评论能激起你的胃口，并鼓励你阅读全文。
Major depressive disorder is a common, recurrent, and impairing condition that predicts future suicide attempts, interpersonal problems, unemployment, substance abuse, and delinquency [1, 2]. According to the World Health Organization, 121 million people are currently suffering from MDD and it is one of the leading causes of disability worldwide. The annual economic cost of MDD in the US alone due to medical expenditures, lost productivity, and other costs is substantial [3].Given its public health significance, a substantial amount of effort is devoted each year to developing a better understanding of how to best assess, understand, and treat depression. This special issue in Current Opinions in Psychology is devoted to presenting some of the most exciting and innovative psychological research in the area of depression. The work presented in this issue falls into several (overlapping) categories:(a) depression assessment,(b) etiology of depression,(c) maintenance of depression,(d) innovative treatments,(e) established treatments, and (f) predictors of treatment response. I will briefly describe the articles in each category with the hope that this brief review whets your appetite and encourages you to read the full article.
