Although depression is a highly talked about, researched, and known problem all around the globe, what is little known are the different types of depression, and how they can effect you and people you are around. Many of the population knows depression as being sad or down, which of course isn't wrong as it is known for it's saddening effect on people, but there is also a lot more to the bigger picture of depression.

 

Feeling sad or down is a common place occurrence in every life on earth, as the saying goes you can't know happy without experiencing sadness. When that sadness becomes the majority of your life, or feeling down or bad about yourself, you may very well have crossed over from the everyday, and into what is commonly known as depression. Research is showing that the leading cause for depression is an imbalance in your brain chemicals which is why you will see many people with depression taking a medication for it to help balance out the imbalance going on upstairs. There are varying degrees for depression from mildly unhappy and down to suicidal. You can measure the level of depression by talking to a doctor about symptoms. Every symptom carries a factor that will lead you either towards or away from the stronger side. The most common symptoms when dealing with depression include mood swings, decreased interest of things you usually enjoy, apatite and sleeping changes, weight changes, loss of energy, of course prolonged periods of sadness or feeling down about yourself, and even suicidal thoughts.

 

Any person is susceptible to getting depression although it isn't a virus or something that you can pass from one person to the next. Some people get depression only when seasons change which is called seasonal affective disorder that has the same symptoms as the basic depression but will only occur when you come into specific seasons such as winter. Another type of depression is linked with giving birth. You will usually see signs, like that of basic depression, but after a woman has given birth which is referred to as postpartum depression. These symptoms will normally occur a few months after the birth and can even begin to appear up to a year later.
