The essential feature of Major Depressive Episode is that the symptom of either depressed mood or loss of interest in almost all activities needs to be present for a period of at least two weeks.

In children and adolescents, the mood may be irritable rather than sad. An individual must also experience at least four additional symptoms from a list that includes:

Changes in appetite or weight.
Sleep and psychomotor activity.
Decreased energy.
Feelings of worthlessness or guilt.
Difficulty concentrating or making decisions.
Recurrent thoughts regarding or planning death.
Suicidal ideation or attempts.

To a diagnosis to be made, the symptom of a Major Depressive Episode must either be present or have recently worsened clearly in comparison to the person's state before the episode.

The symptoms must persist for most of the day, nearly every day for at least two consecutive weeks.

The episode must be accompanied by feelings of sadness or clinically significant impairment in social, occupational or other important areas.

The mood in a Major Depressive Episode is often described by the person as depressed, sad, discouraging, hopeless or "down". In some cases, grief may be initially denied, but can subsequently be reported during an interview assessment where a client usually cries.

In some individuals who complain of feelings of emptiness, without being emotional or anxious, the presence of depressive mood can be seen from facial expression and/or behavior.

Some sufferers complain of somatic symptoms such as body aches, instead of describing feelings of sadness.

Many clients describe, or show increased irritability as in:
