Recognizing Different Causes and Types of Depression

There are many different forms of depression, and each depressive disorder may have slightly different manifestations than others. As with many mental health conditions, symptoms tend to vary widely from one person to the next, even among individuals suffering from the same condition.

Some common types of depression include major depressive disorder, seasonal affective disorder, postpartum depression, situational depression, and persistent depressive disorder.

Some depressive disorders may be influenced by a combination of more than one of these influential factors. For example, a woman may be more at risk of developing postpartum depression (generally correlated to hormonal and biological changes) if she is genetically predisposed to depression or mental illness.

How Does Depression Therapy Work?

Talk therapy is the most common method of treatment utilized in depression therapy and counseling. Talk therapy helps you recognize and understand the way you think and how that affects your emotions and behavior. Many forms of talk therapy can help teach you how to cope with difficult emotions, reset patterns of thought, and adjust the way you respond to challenges and different stressors.

Some typical forms of talk therapy used in treating depression include the following:

• Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)
• Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)
• Interpersonal therapy
• Psychodynamic therapy
• Family therapy

Prescription medications may also help reduce depression symptoms and make depressive disorders more manageable long term. Antidepressants can be especially effective when combined with professional therapy and other stress-reduction techniques like meditation.
