Abstract
Many people may experience relatively low-grade or prodromal depression symptoms that actually can deeply affect their mental health. Feeling generally dissatisfied may mean something different than just simply not to be happy. Subclinical depression, masked depression or other forms of low mood disorders can be related to psychosocial problems like workaholism, burnout, chronic fatigue syndrome, mobbing, bullying or suicidal ideation. All those conditions can be equally dramatic and severe as full-blown depression. There are mainly preliminary pharmacological trials based typically on SSRIs like escitalopram in most of those indications.
