Common Types of Depressive Disorders

When people think about depression, they often divide it into one of two things—either clinical depression which requires treatment or “regular” depression that pretty much anyone can go through. As a condition, depression can be a difficult concept to grasp since we refer to it as both the symptom of a condition and a condition itself. From a medical standpoint, depression is defined​ as a mood disorder which causes a persistent feeling of depressed mood or sadness and the often profound loss of interest in things that usually bring you pleasure.
