Types of depression
Major depression
Major depression, or major depressive complaint is the specialized term used by health professionals and experimenters to describe the most common type of depression. Other terms occasionally used include unipolar depression or clinical depression.
Depression can be described as mild, moderate or severe.
Dysthymia
The symptoms of dysthymia( occasionally called Persistent Depressive complaint) are analogous to those of major depression, but are less severe and more patient. A person has to have this milder depression for further than two times to be diagnosed with dysthymia.
Psychotic depression
occasionally, people with a depressive condition can lose touch with reality. This can involve visions( seeing or hearing effects that aren’t there) or visions( false beliefs that aren’t participated by others), similar as believing they’re bad or evil, or that they’re being watched or followed or that everyone is against them. This is known as psychotic depression
Bipolar complaint
Bipolar complaint used to be known as ‘ manic depression ’ because the person gests ages of depression and ages of mania with ages of normal mood in between. The symptoms of mania are contrary to the symptoms of depression and can vary in intensity. They include
feeling great
having plenitude of energy
racing studies
little need for sleep

having difficulty fastening on tasks
feeling frustrated and perverse.
This isn’t just a transitory experience. occasionally, the person loses touch with reality and gests visions or visions, particularly about their ideas, capacities or significance. A family history of bipolar complaint can increase a person’s threat of passing bipolar complaint
