Depression is a form of what is known as mood or affective disorder, because it is mainly affected by a change of mood. Nobody really knows for certain what causes depression, and each experience is different from depression.

Other types of depression

Some types of depression that are associated with specific symptoms or observed situations and particular age groups, are specific names.It is essential that psychiatrists are able, in these cases to establish a diagnosis and choose the right treatment.

Types of depression can be difficult to identify.They are often similar to other diseases.In the worst cases, the disease could not be treated.

Here are details on some types of depression:

#Melancholy

#Atypical depression

#Agitated depression

#Masked depression

#Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)

#Postnatal depression

#Depressed elderly

#Double depression

#Secondary depression

What melancholy?

Melancholy is a form of depression in which the physical symptoms of depression are particularly dominant.

If you suffer from melancholy, you’ll probably big sleep:

#You wake up early and are unable to sleep
#You feel very ill
#Your energy can be significantly affected
#Your libido may decrease
#You may lose your appetite and significant weight

What is atypical depression?

In some cases, depression is manifested by symptoms that differ from the normal symptoms.You suffer from atypical depression if:

Instead of losing appetite, you compensate with a supercharger and you gain weight

instead of sleeping difficulty, sleeping more than usual

Your mood swings may be reversed, so you feel better early in the morning and less and less in the evening

you become more irritable and perhaps more aggressive than sad and you’re in a deadlock (particularly in the case of men)

What is agitated depression?

If you are suffering from agitated depression you are depressed but not passive and exhausted:

#You are anxious and agitated.

#You can not sit still.

#You complain to your state unbearable but can not define your problem.

#In severe cases, you wander aimlessly with nervousness, you into wringing hands, sighing and repeating endlessly the same complaints.

What is a masked depression?

Depression does not always manifest itself in lower morale.It may be hidden or masked by other symptoms such as:

#Fatigue.

#Headache.

#Muscle pain.

#Stomach and digestive problems.

You can also suffer from depression even if you do not feel depressed. This case is called “sine depression,” which means “depression without feeling depressed”.In such cases, the main problems are fatigue and lack of energy.

What is seasonal affective disorder?

Many people suffer from depression during the fall and winter, especially in countries where light is scarce at this time of year.

Some people suffer from mild to moderate depression, known as seasonal affective disorder or SAD, almost every winter. It has been proven that this type of depression can be treated and by early exposure to white light.

What is postpartum depression?

Although it was shown that the incidence of depression did not increase during pregnancy, some women feel unsure of themselves and are emotionally unstable when pregnant.In some cases, future fathers show a similar emotional state before or after birth.

Immediately after delivery, you have to adapt physically and mentally to a completely new situation.You can be sensitive and cry easily.You can also feel sad or unhappy.Maybe you do not receive any help or support from your family.These sensations usually last only a few days. But in some people, they may become depressed and require treatment.If you suffer from postnatal depression, you may be hard to take care of your baby and establish a good relationship between mother and child. You can have a bad conscience and think:

#You do not have enough baby.

#You do not worry your pretty baby.

#You’re a bad mother.

#You do not assume all your other responsibilities.

It is therefore important to be treated quickly to postnatal depression.

The elderly depression

You can suffer your first episode of depression at any point in your life.The older you are, the greater your chances of suffering from depression.The evolution of the disease is often more important in the elderly.Furthermore, the depressed elderly is often triggered by and associated with:

#Physical illness such as influenza.

#Cardiovascular disease (such as stroke).

#Social circumstances – this may be small changes in daily living or the sources of stress such as death of a loved one, admission to hospital, a move or institutionalization.

If you are a senior and you suffer from depression, the most dominant symptoms are not necessarily sadness and low morale. You can instead be tired, anxious, irritable and losing your usual “undaunted”.You may feel confused rather than depressed.

You can spend your time complaining about the same things, like your health problems.You can also complain about things that others consider minor problems. You and the others go so maybe not realize that you are depressed.

As in the case of depression in young people, older people have trouble remembering things and concentrating. This means that the disease can be confused with senile dementia, another disease that causes memory loss.

What is a double depression?

If you suffer from prolonged episodes of mild to moderate depression, you may see your condition deteriorate as and when it evolves.A serious deterioration in your state may take the form of a new episode of depression in addition to that already affect you.In this case we say that you suffer from double depression.

What is a secondary depression?

If you are already sick and you take another disease, they say that you have a secondary illness.The term means a new co-morbid disease is now present in more than you already have.Any serious physical illness or prolonged increases the risk of developing depression.The following diseases are diseases that increase risk:

#Chronic Pain.

#Arthritis.

#Heart disease.

#Stroke

#Parkinson’s disease

#Cancer

#AIDS
