Am I Depressed? What Are the Symptoms of Depression?
Depression, like other mental health conditions, may arise from very specific situations or circumstances, so the symptoms may vary wildly from person to person. While there’s no way to self-diagnose on your own, there are warning signs of depression to be mindful of, including:
- Feeling chronically fatigued
- Overeating or avoiding eating
- Lack of self-care (i.e. personal hygiene or a clean living environment)
- 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 McKinney, TX with depression, you may find that your experience and symptoms vary. That’s why it’s so important to speak candidly with one of our mental health professionals—doing so can help them to more accurately treat and recognize your needs.
How Can a Provider Help Treat My Depression?
For many people, attending depression therapy sessions can often be a great way to move forward while dealing with the symptoms of depression. At Thriveworks in McKinney, TX 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
- Serve as a verbal and emotional outlet for the burdens of this mood disorder
The provider that you’re paired with will depend on the type and severity of your depression, as well as your individual preferences. For many people, talking with a counselor or therapist is an efficient form of treatment. But for others with more persistent or severe cases of depression, meeting with a psychiatric NP, who can prescribe medication, is a more effective way to manage their symptoms.
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.
