Just feeling in a depressed mood isn’t enough to be diagnosed with clinical depression. Some manifestations of the depression effects are mood changes from elation to inactivity.
Depression symptoms can happen to children, teens, and adults. Child depression and teen depression are characterized by a feeling of sadness, disruptive behavior, and lack of interest in activities that once gave them pleasure.

There are several different types of clinical depression, which include major depression, chronic depression (dysthymia), postpartum depression, bipolar depression, psychotic depression, SAD depression (seasonal affective disorder), double depression, chronic treatment-resistant depression, masked depression and secondary depression. Most everyone has heard of the first four types of depression because they are quite common. The less heard about forms clinical depression are the remaining ones on the list.
Double depression is a mixture of chronic depression and major depression disorders. The people who suffer from double depression often feel isolated, though they isolate themselves. If you have been diagnosed with double depression, you might feel that you are all alone, even though you are among people. You may have a feeling of hopelessness or helplessness. The major symptom of double depression is a sense of hopelessness.
Psychotic depression is characterized by depression symptoms and hallucinations. The hallucinations may be visual and auditory in nature. SAD depression is characterized by depression symptoms at certain parts of the year. For instance, men and women may become depressed in the wintertime, which is thought to be related to decreased exposure to sunlight in the wintertime.

If you have depression symptoms, seek depression help from a mental health professional right away.
Depression is a physical disorder caused by an imbalance of brain chemicals, serotonin and norepinephrine. Sometimes depression does physically hurt because the imbalance of chemicals can cause back pain, joint pain, and gastrointestinal disturbances. If you, family or friends are having depression symptoms seek depression help from a health care provider. If necessary, the health care professional will refer you to a mental health professional for treatment.
