Types of Depressive Disorders
Bipolar Disorder
Major Depressive disorder (MDD) or clinical
depression
Persistent depressive disorder (PDD) or
dysthymia Postpartum depression
Seasonal affective disorder (SAD)
Atypical Depression

Let’s start discussing with

 Clinical Depression (MDD)- A
diagnosis of major depressive
disorder means you’ve felt sad, low or
worthless most days for at least two
weeks while also having other
symptoms such as sleep problems,
loss of interest in activities or change
in appetite. This is the most severe
 form of depression and one of the
most common forms.

Some other symptoms you might have are:

● Loss of interest or pleasure in your

activities

● Weight loss or gain

● Trouble getting to sleep or feeling sleepy
during the
day
● Feeling restless and agitated, or else very
sluggish
and slowed down physically or mentally

● Being tired and without energy

● Feeling worthless or guilty

● Trouble concentrating or making decisions

● Thoughts of suicide
 Bipolar Disorder-People with bipolar
disorder also experience episodes of
depression in addition to manic or
hypomanic episodes.
 Persistent depressive disorder
(PDD) or dysthymia - Persistent
depressive disorder is mild or
moderate depression that lasts for at
least two years. The symptoms are
less severe than major depressive
disorder. Healthcare providers used to
call PDD dysthymia.
You may have symptoms such as:
● Change in your appetite (not eating enough
or overeating)

● Sleeping too much or too little

● Lack of energy, or fatigue
● Low self-esteem
● Trouble concentrating or making decisions

● Feeling hopeless Psychotic Depression

People with psychotic depression have the
symptoms of major depression along with
"psychotic" symptoms, such as:
● Hallucinations (seeing or hearing things
that aren't there)
● Delusions (false beliefs)
● Paranoia (wrongly believing that others are
trying to
harm you)
 Postpartum depression-
Prenatal depression and postpartum
depression: Prenatal depression is depression
that happens during pregnancy. Postpartum
depression is depression that develops within
four weeks of delivering a baby. The DSM
refers to these as “major depressive disorder
(MDD) with permpartum onset.”
Besides feeling depressed, you may also
have:

● Mood swings

● Irritability

● Anxiety

● Trouble concentrating
● Fatigue

● Change in appetite or sleep habits

● Feelings of being overwhelmed

  Seasonal affective disorder (SAD)-
This is a form of major depressive
disorder that typically arises during
the fall and winter and goes away
during the spring and summer.
Atypical Depression- This type is different
from the persistent sadness of typical
depression. It is considered to be a "specifier"
that describes a pattern of depressive
symptoms. If you have atypical depression, a
positive event can temporarily improve your
mood.
Other symptoms of atypical depression
include:

● Increased appetite

● Sleeping more than usual

● Feeling of heaviness in your arms and legs
● Oversensitive to criticism

10 common characteristics of a person

with depression: ● Feelings of helplessness
and hopelessness.
A bleak outlook—nothing will ever get better
and there's nothing you can do to improve
your situation.
● Loss of interest in daily activities. You
don't care anymore about former hobbies,
pastimes, social activities, or sex. You've lost
your ability to feel joy and pleasure.
● Appetite or weight changes.
Significant weight loss or weight gain—a
change of more than 5% of body weight in a
month. ● Sleep changes. Either insomnia,
especially waking in the early hours of the
morning, or oversleeping.
● Anger or irritability. Feeling agitated,
restless, or even violent. Your tolerance level
is low, your temper short, and everything and
everyone gets on your nerves.
● Loss of energy. Feeling fatigued,
sluggish, and physically drained. Your whole
body may feel heavy, and even small tasks
are exhausting or take longer to complete.
● Self-loathing. Strong feelings of
worthlessness or guilt. You harshly criticize
yourself for perceived faults and mistakes. ●
Reckless behavior. You engage in escapist
behavior such as substance abuse, compulsive
gambling, reckless driving, or dangerous
sports.
● Concentration problems. Trouble
focusing, making decisions, or remembering
things.
● Unexplained aches and pains. An
increase in physical complaints such as
headaches, back pain, aching muscles, and
stomach pain.
Now, What do you think are possible causes
of depression?
Yes, Britney ? Bullying , Ma’am
Yes, very good . What other causes of (student raised hand)
depression?
Death of loved ones

Alright , thank you .

CAUSES OF DEPRESSION
Abuse - can make you more vulnerable to
depression later. Physical, sexual, or
emotional abuse in life.
Age- People who are elderly are at higher
risk of depression. That can be made worse
by other factors, such as living alone and
having a lack of social support.
Certain medications- Some drugs, such as
(used to treat acne), the antiviral drug
interferon-alpha, and corticosteroids, can
increase your risk of depression.
Conflict. Depression in someone who has the
biological vulnerability to it may result from
personal conflicts or disputes with family
members or friends.
Death or a loss-Sadness or grief after the
death or loss of a loved one, though natural,
can increase the risk of depression.
Gender-Women are about twice as likely as
men to become depressed. No one's sure
why. The hormonal changes that women go
through at different times of their lives may
play a role.
Genes- A family history of depression may
increase the risk. It's thought that depression
is a complex trait, meaning there are
probably many different genes that each
exert small effects, rather than a single gene
that contributes to disease risk.
Major events-Even good events such as
starting a new job, graduating, or getting
married can lead to depression. So can
moving, losing a job or income, getting
divorced, or retiring. However, the syndrome
of clinical depression is never just a "normal"
response to stressful life events.
Other personal problems- Problems such as
social isolation due to other mental illnesses
or being cast out of a family or social group
can contribute to the risk of developing
clinical depression.
Serious illnesses- Sometimes, depression
happens along with a major illness or may be
triggered by another medical condition.
Substance misuse. Nearly 30% of people
with substance misuse problems also have
major or clinical depression. Even if drugs or
alcohol temporarily make you feel better,
they ultimately will aggravate depression.
