There are few types of depression.
1) Endogenous depression is an unexplained and unprovoked depression of
moderate to severe degree.
2) Situational (exogenous) or/Reactive depression
It is a normal reaction to a painful life event, such as the death of a
loved one, the loss of a job or a divorce.
3) Involutional depression occurs as a result changing period of life e.g.
menopause or andrepause.
4) Agitated depression a person may become extremely agitated in facing
5) Puerperal depression occurs after the birth of a child
6) Manic depression characterized by cycling mood changes: severe highs
(mania) and lows (depression)
In order to confirm that a person have depression he or she to have at least 5 of the symptoms for most of the day nearly every day for more than 2 weeks.
Signs and symptoms
sad facial expression, slumped posture, dragging gait, lack of concern on personal grooming, disturbed sleep patterns, feelings of hopelessness, low self esteem, fatigue, apathy, loss of weight, loss of sexual libido, poor concentration.
Sometimes side effects of certain medications e.g high blood pressure can cause depression. I think most of us have endogenous depression, something inside us that we ourselves do not know...sometimes low spirit...its quite common I think...its just my opinion...any suggestions?imsad
I am depressed quite often and my health is often a mess with reproductive problems, menstrual problems, gastro problems, migrains yet i am in perfect health besides that never had any abnormal tests and despite the fact i eat as healthy as possible, exercise and do not smoke. =(. Im scared one day it really will catch up with me =(
