Abstract:

The aim of my research is not to determine the necessary and sufficient conditions that indicate presence of depression. Rather the aim is to examine how the DSM-5 criteria constrain our understanding of depression, whether the criteria capture anything meaningful about the syndrome, and how depression can more accurately be characterized from within an existential-phenomenological framework that relies on Maurice Merleau-Ponty's metaphysics of embodiment.
