Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is a mood disorder that is known for causing persistent sadness, a loss of interest in pleasurable activities, and a range of other emotional and physical symptoms. Symptoms of depression can affect your daily routine, relationships, and overall quality of life.
Depression can affect individuals of varying ages and other demographics. While depression is more commonly diagnosed among women, men may experience more stigma regarding mental health difficulties, which prevents them from seeking help. Causes of depression can vary, including generics, experiences you’ve had in life, and a chemical imbalance within your brain. Depression therapy can help you in overcoming depression and may include the use of depression medications and holistic therapies.
For someone to meet the diagnostic criteria for depression, their symptoms need to be present for a minimum of two weeks. Your symptoms would be present most of the day, almost every day. It is also important to note that your symptoms cannot be the result of other mental health conditions.
Some of the common signs and symptoms of depression include:
Depression is an individualized mental health condition, which means that you may or many not experience all the symptoms we have listed. Additional differences can be found in the severity of your symptoms, and how they affect your daily life. These factors are considered when determining which depression counseling program would be appropriate for you.
If you have been struggling with one or more of the depression symptoms we have mentioned, know that you’re not alone.

Depression can present different among those experiencing depressive symptoms. There are several types of depressive disorders, each of which have their own features and recommended treatments. While this is not an exhaustive list of mental health depression conditions, it does highlight some of the most common:
Bipolar disorder is known for alternating mood episodes including mania, hypomania, and depression. Depression episodes can include a low mood, fatigue, and a loss of interest in usual activities. Bipolar disorder is commonly treated with medications, which can include the use of antidepressants to help decrease the risk and intensity of future depressive episodes.
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) correlates to seasonal changes, including months with less sunlight. This makes it more common during the winter months, and in places of the world that have limited sunlight during parts of the year. For many, symptoms associated with SAD resolve as the warmer seasons occur but can respond to light therapy and lifestyle changes.
Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is commonly referred to as clinical depression. This mental health disorder is known for prolonged periods of sadness and loss of interest. You may find that your symptoms affect your sleeping patterns, appetite, emotions, and behaviors. Individuals living with MDD may isolate from family and experience hopelessness and helplessness.
Postpartum depression can occur among women who have recently had a child. There are a number of factors that contribute to this condition, including the change in hormones after pregnancy. Postpartum depression can include feelings of sadness, guilt, and feeling disconnected from the baby.
Persistent depressive disorder, or dysthymia, is a condition known for long-term depressive symptoms. For this clinical diagnosis, depressive symptoms need to be present for a minimum of two years. This can include continuous depressive symptoms, that are less intensive than other depressive disorders.
Psychotic depression is depressive symptoms that occur with psychosis symptoms. Those living with this condition can experience hallucinations and delusions at the same time they experience typical depressive symptoms. Professional support and depressive medications may be required to effectively manage your symptoms.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a commonly used therapeutic approach that blends the use of mindfulness skills and cognitive approaches. DBT can improve emotion regulation and distress tolerance, while improving interpersonal relationships. This approach can be helpful for those struggling with depression and dual diagnosis conditions, like depression and anxiety.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can help you recognize automatic negative, or unhealthy thoughts. You’ll learn about how these thoughts affect your feelings and behaviors, and how to challenge these thoughts when they arise. CBT is one of the most researched therapeutic approaches and can be used in depression therapy sessions.
Group therapy for depression can help you connect with others who have had similar experiences with you. This can decrease isolation, foster a sense of community, and include exploring healthy coping strategies. Group therapy is often used in addition to individual therapy.
Creative therapies, like music therapy and art therapy, are commonly used to treat depression. These approaches can give you a new way to express your thoughts and feelings. This can help reduce stress and increase your sense of self-awareness. These approaches are often used in addition to traditional therapies, like CBT, DBT, and mindfulness-based therapy.
TMS treatment for depression is considered in cases of treatment-resistant depression. TMS is a non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic stimulation on specific areas of the brain to address things like mood regulation. This approach is considered for those who have not found relief for their depressive symptoms after engaging in therapy, counseling, and medication management services.
Eye Movement and Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy, or EMDR, is an approach that was developed for trauma-related disorders. EMDR can help those whose depression is stemming from a particular event or situation. This approach uses guided eye movements to help your brain reprocess these events, to change your emotional reaction.
