Differentiating Types of Depression
Depression is a disorder that arises from a combination of environmental factors and genetics. There are two main types of depression: melancholic and atypical depression. Melancholic depression is characterized by a depressed mood, anxiety, feelings of worthlessness, and a loss of pleasure. It is associated with physiological changes such as stress hormone activation, sleep disturbances, and weight loss. On the other hand, atypical depression is characterized by a sense of disconnection, increased sleep and appetite, and a lack of response to stimuli. It often stems from early life trauma and does not exhibit severe anxiety.
