What is Depression?

Depression is a common mood disorder that many people experience. A depressive disorder can be chronic or short-term. Some disorders are more severe then others, but can encompass similar symptoms. There are various forms of depression that one can experience such as:

Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)

This disorder is diagnosed when one experiences a depressed mood for at least 2 weeks for most of that day, nearly every day. Other symptoms include feelings of sadness, emptiness, hopelessness, lack of motivation, difficulty getting out of bed, or loss of interest or pleasure in activities one used to find joy in. Insomnia or excessive sleeping nearly every day can be experienced. Thoughts of hurting oneself can accompany this disorder.

This is a common disorder that many people experience during dark winter months. Light therapy can help with this disorder as it usually only lasts as long as the winter season.

Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD)

This disorder occurs in girls and women right before their menstrual cycle. Difficulty concentrating, low mood, feelings of sadness, tearfulness, and increased irritability are experienced in this disorder.

Persistent Depressive Disorder (Dysthymia)

This disorder is diagnosed when one experiences a depressed mood for most of the day and is present for at least 2 years. Symptoms experienced in this disorder include poor appetite, insomnia, or excessive sleeping, low energy, low self-esteem, poor concentration, or feelings of hopelessness. One who is diagnosed with this disorder has never been without these symptoms for more than 2 months at a time. This depressive disorder can last much longer than a major depressive disorder, but symptoms are milder.

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)

The treatment I received for my depression was life-changing. The support and understanding that was provided by Julia made all the difference in my recovery journey.
