What Does Depression Feel Like?

If you’re worried that you could be depressed, there are several common signs of depression to look out for, including: 

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

Don’t be concerned if you don’t see the issues or symptoms that you’re dealing with being listed above. These are just a few of the ways that depression might manifest itself. If you’re diagnosed by a provider, you might find that your experience differs. 

What Type of Depression Could I Have?

Though there are many types of depression, our therapists and psychiatrists commonly treat: 

• Major depression: This disorder causes emotional detachment, sadness, hopelessness, and apathy. Those who suffer from major depression may become socially isolated, further exacerbating their condition. It’s what most people think of when they hear the word “depression”.
• Minor depression: As the name implies, this is less severe than major depression but just as harmful. Because those with this disorder may go long periods without feeling depressed, identifying what’s triggering their sadness can be difficult for those with minor depression.
• Bipolar disorder: Bipolar disorder can cause depression when the mood swings that it causes fluctuate. Those with bipolar disorder may feel extremely happy for a minute, and furious or dejected in the next.
• Postpartum depression: Postpartum depression affects women who’ve given birth; those who underwent caesarian sections or had a miscarriage are at higher risk. This disorder can onset immediately or months after childbirth.
