Psychiatrist explains how to differentiate between different types of depression
Depression is a serious illness that should not be ignored or ridiculed. It is important to undergo treatment and to consult with specialists on a regular basis.
Psychiatrist German Simutkin spoke in more detail about the problem.
According to the doctor, depression is divided into unipolar and bipolar.
“Unipolar is a common depressive disorder, when an episode of depression occurs once or is repeated throughout life,” Gazeta.Ru quotes the doctor as saying.
This also includes depressed mood, fatigue and anhedonia.
However, there may be an additional set of symptoms, for example, difficulty making decisions, a pessimistic assessment of one's prospects in a variety of areas, and weight loss.
In bipolar depression, increased sleepiness, weight gain, and possible manifestations of emotional lability are added.
