What is Depression?
Types of Depression Disorders We Treat
Type 1 Persistent depressive disorder
Persistent depressive disorder (PDD), also known as dysthymia, is a chronic form of depression that lasts for at least two years. While its symptoms are less severe than major depressive disorder, they are ongoing and can significantly affect daily life. Common signs include persistent sadness, low energy, poor self-esteem, and difficulty concentrating. PDD often requires long-term management through therapy, medication, or a combination of both.
Type 2 Postpartum depression
Postpartum depression (PPD) is a type of depression that occurs after childbirth, affecting a mother’s emotional and mental well-being. Unlike the “baby blues,” which are short-lived, PPD can persist for weeks or months, causing intense feelings of sadness, anxiety, fatigue, and difficulty bonding with the baby. It often requires treatment, such as therapy, medication, or support groups, to help mothers recover and regain their sense of well-being.
Type 3 Seasonal affective disorder (SAD)
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a depression that arises in certain seasons, primarily during fall and winter when daylight is scarce. Symptoms may include:
- Fatigue and low energy
- Persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness
- Increased sleep and changes in appetite
- Trouble focusing
Treatment options such as light therapy, counseling, and medication can help alleviate symptoms.
