Could I Be Depressed? What Does Depression Feel Like?

• Feeling chronically fatigued 
• Overeating or avoiding eating

• Abusing drugs or alcohol to cope with emotional pain 
• A noted lack of interest in sex, hobbies, or relationships  
• Feeling distant from loved ones and friends 
• Decreased work performance

These are only a few of the many different ways that depression can manifest in your life. If you’re diagnosed by a provider at Thriveworks in Louisville, KY with depression, you may find that your experience and symptoms vary.

At Thriveworks in Louisville, KY one of our counselors, therapists, or psychologists can help you to work through what’s causing your depression. Our providers will:

• Use talk and behavioral therapy to implement coping strategies for you to use in your personal and professional life 
• Work with you to better understand your depression

Are There Different Types of Depression? 

There are many forms that depression can take, but some of the most common include: 

• Postpartum depression: Postpartum depression affects women who’ve given birth; those who underwent caesarian sections or had a miscarriage are at higher risk. This disorder can onset immediately or months after childbirth. 
• Bipolar disorder: Bipolar disorder can cause depression when the mood swings that it induces fluctuate. Those with bipolar disorder may feel extremely happy for a minute, and furious or dejected in the next.
• Major depression: This disorder causes emotional detachment, sadness, hopelessness, and apathy. Those who suffer from major depression may become socially isolated, further exacerbating their condition. It’s what most people think of when they hear the word “depression”.
• Minor depression: As the name implies, this is less severe than major depression but just as harmful. Because those with this disorder may go long periods without feeling depressed, identifying what’s triggering their sadness can be difficult for those with minor depression.
