types of depression 

Major/Clinical Depression
Most people feel sad or low at some point in life but people with clinical depression causes a depressed mood most of the day, particularly in the morning. People with major depression feel a profound and constant sense of hopelessness and despair. With major depression, you may have symptoms that make it difficult to work, study, sleep, eat, and enjoy friends and activities. Some people have clinical depression only once in their life, others may have it several times in a lifetime.

Chronic Depression (Dysthymia)
Dysthymia is a less severe form of depression. With dysthymia, the depression symptoms can linger for a long period of time, perhaps two years or longer. Those who suffer from dysthymia are usually able to function adequately but might seem consistently unhappy.

Atypical Depression
Atypical depression — a type of depression that can be difficult to treat — has symptoms that include weight gain, sleeping too much, and feeling anxious. People with atypical depression tend to have first experienced depression at an early age, during their teenage years. Despite its name, atypical depression is probably rather common. Where in major depression, positive changes will not bring a change in mood—in atypical depression, however, people will see his or her mood improve if something positive happens.

Postpartum Depression
Postpartum depression is linked to chemical, social, and psychological changes associated with having a baby. The term describes a range of physical and emotional changes that many new mothers experience. But it can be treated with medication and counseling.

Bipolar Depression (Manic Depression)
Bipolar disorder is a complex genetic disorder which mania causes sleeplessness, sometimes for days, along with hallucinations, psychosis, grandiose delusions, and/or paranoid rage. The mood swings can range from very mild to extreme and they can happen gradually or suddenly within a time frame of minutes to hours and may have disturbances in thinking, as well as distortions of perception and impairment in social functioning.

Seasonal Depression (SAD)
Seasonal Depression is a mood disorder that happens every year at the same time. A rare form of seasonal depression, known as “summer depression” begins in late spring or early summer and ends in fall. But in general, seasonal affective disorder starts in fall or winter and ends in spring or early summer.

Psychotic Depression
Psychotic depression occurs when a severe depressive illness has a co-existing form of psychosis. The psychosis could be hallucinations, delusions, or some other break with reality. Psychotic depression affects roughly one out of every four people who is admitted to the hospital for depression.
