Rootless depression is a fairly serious form of depression that is characterized by constant worry and obsessive thoughts. It can occur in people who are in prison or military captivity. This form of depression is often chronic, requiring long-term treatment and support.

Rootless depression differs from other forms of depression in that it is not related to specific circumstances or events, and its symptoms may be persistent. Typically, patients complain of high levels of anxiety and apprehension, as well as intrusive thoughts and flashbacks. They may constantly ruminate about their condition or the possible negative events it may cause. Autonomic disorders such as insomnia, loss of appetite, sweating and rapid heartbeat may also occur.

Additionally, confinement and isolation from family and friends can lead to feelings of hopelessness and loneliness
