Let’s explore the Types of Depression!
It is commonly known as clinical depression and is defined by a prolonged state of low mood, helplessness, and lack of interest in living.
Dysthymia, also referred to as PDD, is a less severe form of depression but lasts for several years on average.
This condition is characterized by intermittent cycling between extreme phases where the patient exhibits high energy and a euphoric mood for a certain period, followed by a low power and sad mood.
SAD is a kind of depression that is seasonally related, especially the winter season.
This condition occurs to women shortly after childbirth with symptoms like sadness, anxiety, and exhaustion.
Situational depression is a type of depression that is caused by some form of stress event or change in events for example, loss of a job, break up or any life change.
The first step towards healing is admitting that you are depressed and need help. You should know that taking action and seeking help from a mental health specialist can dramatically change your life. Self-care is not selfish; do not feel guilty if you put your emotional and mental health first.
Recognizing these signs is the first step—Mon Therapy can guide you through the rest.
