Am I Depressed? What Does Depression Feel Like?  

There are common indications that might serve as warnings that someone is struggling with a form of depression, including: 

• Feeling distant from loved ones and friends 
• Decreased work performance
• Feeling chronically fatigued 
• Overeating or avoiding eating 
• Lack of self-care (i.e. personal hygiene or a clean living environment)
• You’ve been abusing alcohol or substances to cope with emotional pain 
• A noted lack of interest in sex, hobbies, or relationships

Being candid and open with a mental health professional is important; providing them with feedback about your experience and perspective opens the door to a more personalized and effective treatment process. 

Are There Different Types of Depression?

Yes, there are different types of depression. The word “depression” as we commonly think of it, refers to a cluster of closely related disorders. Some of the most common forms of depression that therapists at Thriveworks in Beaumont, TX treat include: 

• Minor depression: As the name suggests, minor depression is related to major depression—it’s typically severe in its effect and duration. Still, those with this condition may seem distant, withdrawn, or overwhelmed with sadness. Minor depression can be harder to detect. 
• Bipolar Disorder: This mental health condition can alter someone’s emotions wildly, ranging from elation in one moment to overwhelming despair in the next. Those with bipolar disorder might find it hard to maintain close relationships or jobs due to their unpredictable mood swings. 
• Major depressive disorder: This condition captures the popular perception of depression. Those with major depression experience emotional detachment and hopelessness. These factors usually take away from their work, relationships, and hobbies. 
• Postpartum depression: Postpartum depression is a mood disorder that arises after a woman gives birth. Women who undergo caesarian sections or experience a miscarriage are even more likely to experience this type of depression.
