What is Depression?
Depression is a mental health disorder or mood disorder characterized by a constant feeling of sadness or loss of interest in daily activities of life. It is different from low moods that people normally experience as symptoms can last from weeks, months, or years.
Types of Depression
Depression affects people differently, and understanding your specific type helps us create the most effective treatment plan.
Major Depressive Disorder
People with major depression experience intense sadness, hopelessness, worthlessness, or an unknown indefinite fear. People may also have body aches and pains.
Persistent Depressive Disorder
People with this condition may suffer for more than 2 years. They may experience lack of sleep, appetite, and energy. This is also referred to as dysthymia and dysthymic disorder.
Postpartum and Perinatal Depression
This type of depression occurs during pregnancy or months after delivery. Women with postpartum depression can experience severe mood variation.
