Depression: Symptoms, Types and Treatment

Depression is more than a temporary low mood. It can change interest, energy, sleep, appetite, concentration, self-worth and the ability to function, and it deserves an assessment that considers severity, safety and possible bipolar symptoms.

Depression

Unipolar Depression

Unipolar depression usually refers to major depressive disorder without a history of mania or hypomania. Screening for past elevated or unusually irritable mood matters because bipolar depression requires a different treatment plan.

Depression

Persistent Depressive Disorder

Persistent depressive disorder describes a long-lasting depressed mood with additional symptoms and functional effects. Chronicity can make the condition feel like personality, but careful assessment and treatment can still help.
