What depression do I have?
Depression can present in several different forms, including:
- Major Depressive Disorder (MDD): persistent and severe symptoms
- Persistent Depressive Disorder (dysthymia): long-term, less severe but chronic symptoms
- Bipolar Depression: low phases within bipolar disorder
- Postnatal Depression: occurs after childbirth
- Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): linked to changes in seasons
Only a qualified professional can provide an accurate diagnosis through assessment, medical history, and understanding your symptoms. Self-diagnosis can be misleading and delay proper treatment.
