A 2-week (or longer) episode of depressed or irritable mood in addition to disturbances in appetite, sleep, energy, or self-esteem meets the criteria for a major depressive disorder.

The infant's care should be coordinated to limit the number of times the infant is disturbed. Light levels should be maintained at the minimum necessary level. Sound levels should be kept to the minimum necessary level. Comfort measures should be provided immediately when the infant exhibits irritability.
