Clinical Depression
Clinical depression is really a phrase thrown around in the mental health
field in a general way, to reference other diagnosable conditions. It is
not officially a diagnosis. The types of depression you may be
diagnosed with include:
- Dysthymia
- Major Depression
- Bipolar Disorder
Below is a list of the symptoms often experienced in these types of depression:
- Depressed mood, feelings of sadness or emptiness
- Radical reduction in interest in or pleasure in nearly all daily
activities
- Significant weight loss or weight gain of 5% in the last 30 days
- Inability to sleep or oversleeping
- A physical or mental sense of feeling slowed down
- Fatigue or loss of energy everyday
- Feelings of worthlessness or excessive guilt nearly every day
- Diminished ability to concentrate
- Indecisiveness
- Frequent thoughts of death or suicide
- Impairment in functioning socially, in occupation, family etc.
- Increased irritability
