Do I Have Depression? What Does It Feel Like?
Depression, like many other mental health conditions, manifests differently for everyone. If you’re diagnosed with depression by a provider at Thriveworks, you might find that your symptoms vary when compared to someone else’s experience. That being said, there are several common signs that may indicate that you might be going through a form of depression, including:
- A noted lack of interest in sex, hobbies, or relationships
- Feeling distant from loved ones and friends
- Decreased work performance
- Feeling chronically fatigued
- Overeating or avoiding eating
- Lack of self-care (i.e. personal hygiene or a clean living environment)
- Drug or alcohol abuse to cope with emotional pain
It may be tempting to self-diagnose, but only a trained professional, like one of our providers, can give an accurate mental health diagnosis. And when you talk with one of our mental health professionals at Thriveworks, trust that your feedback will be appreciated and heard. Your personal experience and journey play a pivotal role in your treatment process. The more you share with your mental health professional, the better able they will be to help you manage your mental health needs and mitigate your depression.
What Type of Depression Could I Have?
“Depression” as we commonly think of it, actually refers to a group of closely related emotional disorders. There are many forms of depression, and they often have different symptoms, depending on the individual. Some common types of depression that our providers can assist with include:
- Major depression: This disorder causes emotional detachment, sadness, hopelessness, and apathy. Those who suffer from major depression may become socially isolated, further exacerbating their condition. It’s what most people think of when they hear the word “depression.”
- Minor depression: As the name implies, this is less severe than major depression but just as harmful. Because those with this disorder may go long periods without feeling depressed, identifying what’s triggering their sadness can be difficult for those with minor depression.
- Bipolar disorder: Bipolar disorder can cause depression when the mood swings that it causes fluctuate. Those with bipolar disorder may feel extremely happy for a minute, and furious or dejected in the next.
- Postpartum depression: Postpartum depression affects women who’ve given birth; those who underwent caesarian sections or had a miscarriage are at higher risk. This disorder can onset immediately or months after childbirth.
