Depressive Disorders And How They Effects Us

By Kenneth Shannon


It is a definite fact that everyone isprone to become sad at some point during their lives. This is not the problem. The issue occurs when these sad types of feelings actually turn into feelings of hopelessness.

It is when this happens that we start to diagnose it as depression. The fact is, roughly about 20% of all people will show at minimum one sign or symptom of at least one type of mood disorder. This is guaranteed to happen no matter what age you are, what your race is, or whether you are a man or a woman.

The severity of depressive disorders and the symptoms and signs that may or may not show up in people will vary from one case to the next. This is the case with every disease known to man. It is never the same.

The first thing that people should be aware of is that there is more than one type of depressive disorder. There are different types such as chronic depressive disorder, major depression, and seasonal affective disorder.

The two most common types are of course major and chronic depression.

Major depression may also be called by many people clinical depressive disorder.

Dysthymia and chronic depressive disorder are as well the same disorder.

The conclusion of many studies will go on to show you that one out of every 10 American adults will experience many symptoms of clinical depressive disorder every year. That number goes on to equal approximately nineteen million people of the adult world.

The fact is that you will have depression occur at some point. How many times will it occur? No one can answer that question as it varies between every person in the world. You should know that if you find a way to manage your own stress levels in some way then your chance of depression will decrease dramatically.

Chronic depression is a little less commonly diagnosed. It is also more dangerous.

This kind of depressive disorder is recognized as the one type having the longest lasting symptoms when compared to other types.

Chronic depression symptoms will usually last a total of at least 2 years or longer.

The good news is, no matter if you have depression or some sort of mood swing disorder, there are treatment options available for you. If you feel hopeless or like your mood changes way too often, then you need to seek medical advise.
