Do I Have Depression? What Does It Feel Like?
Depression is like many other mental health conditions in that it can manifest differently for everyone. With that in mind, there are several common signs that may indicate that you’re depressed, including:
- A noted lack of interest in sex, hobbies, or relationships
- Decreased work performance
- Feeling chronically fatigued
- Distancing oneself from loved ones and friends
- Overeating or avoiding eating
- Lack of self-care (i.e. personal hygiene or a clean living environment)
- Drug or alcohol abuse to cope with emotional pain
When you’re experiencing emotional turmoil, it’s tempting to self-diagnose, but only a trained professional, like one of our providers, can give you an accurate mental health diagnosis. The more you share with your mental health professional, the better able they will be to help you manage your mental health needs.
What Are the Treatment Options for Depression?
Our counselors, psychologists, and our psychiatrists help everyday people to manage depression. However, each provider type has a different treatment approach and can assist you in coping with depression in different ways. As a general rule, more severe cases of depression are often treated by psychiatrists, while more general cases are managed with the assistance of a psychologist or counselor.
Psychologists and counselors help those with depression by:
- Using talk and behavioral therapy to implement coping strategies for clients
- Creating a professional connection with their client to better understand their depression
- Serving as a verbal and emotional outlet for those burdened by this mood disorder
Psychiatric providers, on the other hand, are:
- Medical doctors who are also licensed to conduct therapy sessions
- Able to use helpful prescription medicine and therapy as needed to assist people
What Type of Depression Could I Have?
There are many forms of depression, and symptoms often vary, depending on the individual. Still, some common types of depression that our providers can help to treat include:
- Major depression: This is what most people think of when they hear the word “depression.” This disorder causes emotional detachment, sadness, hopelessness, and apathy.
- 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.
- Bipolar disorder: Bipolar disorder can cause depression when the mood swings that it causes fluctuate. Those with bipolar disorder may feel extremely happy for a minute, and furious or dejected in the next.
- 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.
