What are the types of depression?

Depression manifests in various forms; each with unique symptoms, triggers, and treatment approaches. Understanding the distinctions allows for more effectively tailored care that addresses the specific needs of each individual.

You can have feelings of being happy in case of positive things but most of the time you are depressed. You may have weight gain or increased sleep time. For example, you can stay happy for some time if a friend comes to you with good news and then you will be depressed again.

PDD is also called dysthymia and can last for years. Your symptoms may not be as severe as those of major depression but they will still have an effect on your functioning in everyday life. For example, you may continue to work or attend school but feel depressed most of the time.

SAD is a type of depression that is more likely to occur in winter when days are shorter. You may feel tired, want to sleep more, or avoid social activities. For example, you may be able to identify a pattern of the onset of depression in autumn and the remission of depression in spring.

This type of depression can develop following child birth. It can include feelings of sadness, anxiety or lack of interest in your new baby. For example, you may have the feeling that you are not capable of taking good care of your baby, when in fact you are doing the best you can.

This involves having hallucinations or delusions along with depression. For instance, you may see things or hear voices and at the same time have depression. Treatment is usually with drugs and psychotherapy.

This is a moderate depression of the mood which usually lasts for less than two weeks. For example, you can be depressed after a certain event in your life, but you will get better faster than in major depression.

The causes of depression

Depression is a complex condition with no single cause. Instead, it arises from an interplay of biological, genetic, and environmental factors. Understanding these underlying causes can shed light on why depression affects some individuals more than others.

Your brain chemicals can affect how you feel. When certain neurotransmitters (like serotonin) go out of balance, you may notice changes in your mood and energy. For example, if serotonin stays low for a while, you might feel sad or lose interest in activities you once enjoyed.

You may be more likely to experience depression if it runs in your family. This doesn’t mean you’ll definitely develop it, but it raises your risk. For instance, if a close relative has depression, you might want to watch out for early signs and speak with a mental health professional.

Stressful situations—like losing a job, moving home, or facing money troubles—can lead to depression. Even ongoing mild stress (like a tense workplace) can build up over time. For example, if you’re in a toxic environment for years, you might feel worn out or hopeless.

Shifts in hormones—such as during pregnancy, menopause, or monthly cycles—can affect your mood. You might experience sudden changes in how you feel, including low energy or sadness. For example, postpartum depression is often linked to hormonal changes after childbirth.
