Depression: Definitions and Key Thoughts

Recurrent depression (known as major depression) makes life significantly harder than it needs to be. Negative feelings may overwhelm you. You oscillate between hopelessness, anxiety, sadness, irritability — or experience them all at the same time.

Simple, everyday activities are a struggle — even the ones you used to enjoy. You have trouble focusing at work or school. You might lash out at those around you. Relationships deteriorate.

Other types of depression include:

• Persistent depressive disorder — when depressed feelings persist for longer than two years
• Psychotic depression disorder — depression alongside hallucinations, irrational beliefs or other delusions
• Postpartum depression — severe depressive some mothers experience after giving birth to a child
• Seasonal affective disorder — depressed mood caused by a lack of daylight in winter months

In addition to feelings of hopelessness or sadness, a person suffering with depression might experience:

• Decreased interest in formerly loved pastimes
• Suicidal thoughts or attempts
• Chronic fatigue
• Labored decision-making and generally slowed thinking
• Difficulty concentrating or focusing on detailed work
• Problems with falling asleep or waking up
• Loss of appetite or overeating
• Inexplicable aches and pains that don’t lessen with treatment
• Feelings of guilt or worthlessness
• Irritability and bouts of extreme anger
