Major depressive disorder is a mental health condition marked by loss of interest in activities, sadness, difficulty concentrating, changes in eating and sleeping habits, and, when it’s at its most severe, thoughts of suicide.

Depression isn't one-size-fits-all. Here's how to recognize the different signs

Triggers like life events, changes in the season and other mental health issues can bring on different types of depression — but they're all treatable.

It’s unlikely that you can self-treat your way out of depression.

We all feel sad or stressed sometimes. “Sometimes we don’t talk about it,” said Charlie Ward Psy.D., program director of comprehensive recovery services at University of Pittsburgh Medical Center Western Psychiatric Hospital. “But the truth is that people experience stress and sadness in the course of ordinary human experiences.”

When those feeling strike, you can do things you enjoy, exercise, or reach out to friends and family and talk about what’s happening. Those things can help you feel better.

Depression is different. Major depressive disorder is a mental health condition marked by loss of interest in activities, sadness, difficulty concentrating, changes in eating and sleeping habits, and, when it’s at its most severe, thoughts of suicide.

“It’s much more complicated than feeling sad and crying, which I think is the image that we have,” said Vaile Wright, Ph.D., senior director of Health Care Innovation for the American Psychological Association. It’s unlikely that you can self-treat your way out of depression. And it’s important to know there are different types of depression.

 What are the different types of depression?

Along with major depressive disorder, there are several other different types of depression disorders. Here’s what you need to know about them.

Persistent depressive disorder

Also called dysthymia, persistent depressive disorder is a lower level of depression that lasts for an extended period of time — at least two years, according to the National Institute of Mental Health. “It becomes so embedded it seems almost like a personality trait,” Wright said.

Seasonal affective disorder: Seasonal affective disorder has all the hallmark symptoms of depression and often includes weight gain and increased sleep. “What makes it unique is the onset — the onset is specific to a time of year, generally winter,” Wright said. “It goes away by itself at the end of the season.”

Postpartum depression or perinatal depression

Postpartum depression or perinatal depression strike during or soon after pregnancy. Like seasonal affective disorder, postpartum or perinatal depression develop in response to a trigger. In this case, the trigger is pregnancy and delivery. It’s much more serious than the “baby blues,” where a mom’s mild symptoms of depression subside within the first two weeks after a baby is born.

“The symptoms are all similar to regular depression,” Wright said. “And it includes the added aspects of things like bonding with the infant, or feeling like you’re not a good mom and can’t take care of the infant.” It can also include intrusive thoughts about harming the baby.

Hormonal changes, sleep deprivation, and the stress of taking care of a new baby can exacerbate post-partum and perinatal depression.

Postpartum psychosis is a rare but serious related condition that can include insomnia, agitation, excess energy, hearing voices or paranoid thoughts. “It can be screened for and treated,” Ward said.
