Depressive Disorder Major; Symptoms; Signs; Self-Management; Adult.Abstract
Objective: to identify in the literature the signs and symptoms of MDD in the physical, psychological and behavioral dimensions in order to gather the best evidence to contribute to the self-management of treatment. Methodology: this is a Scoping Review guided by the assumptions of the Joanna Briggs Institute according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR). Studies were analyzed following the Ageline, B-On, BDENF, BMC Psychology, BMC Sacaid Nursing, BVS, Cochrane, EMBASE, IBECS, Lilacs, MedLine, Pepsic, Psycinfo, PubMed, SciELO, SCOPUS and Web of Science databases, using the descriptors “Signs and Symptoms”, “Depressive Disorder, Major”, “Adult”. Results: the final sample consisted of 51 articles. In the studies, the psychic dimension predominates, 82.35%, followed by the physical dimension, 68.62%, and the behavioral dimension, 43.13%. The most prevalent signs and symptoms were sleep disorders, fatigue, feelings of guilt, appetite changes, depressed mood, low concentration, anhedonia, psychomotor changes, weight changes and suicidal ideation. Conclusion: MDD affects the mind and body, and although its clinical presentation is heterogeneous, studies have shown that the most frequent signs and symptoms are concentrated in the psychic dimension.
