Understanding Depressive Disorders

Depressive disorders encompass a range of conditions characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a lack of interest or pleasure in daily activities. Common types of depressive disorders include:

• Major Depressive Disorder (MDD): Marked by a severe and persistent low mood, MDD often affects a person’s ability to function in daily life.
• Persistent Depressive Disorder (PDD): Also known as dysthymia, PDD is a chronic form of depression with symptoms lasting for at least two years.
• Bipolar Disorder: Involves episodes of depression alternating with periods of mania or hypomania.
• Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): A type of depression that occurs at specific times of the year, usually in the winter months.
