There are several different types of depression that include: major depression, dysthymia (chronic low-grade depression), seasonal affective disorder, postpartum depression, and adjustment disorders.

Why Do People Become Depressed?

Sometimes the reason why someone becomes depressed is not immediately clear to them. Whereas others will attribute their depression to particular life circumstances: loss of a job, loss of finances, loss of a loved one, physical limitations, illness, aging. Some people report they are depressed because they feel helpless or hopeless about changing some aspect of their life. Others report feeling blocked or stuck in guilt, fear, or shame. Whereas others feel their very existence has no purpose or meaning. Also, it is common in depression not to feel connected to others. These are very valid and real forms of suffering.

What is the worse thing about depression

You feel ALONE. Even if you have people in your life who would support you, you feel like you can’t open up to them. They wouldn’t understand anyway. So you withdraw from everyone. Negative thoughts replay in your head over and over again. “You’re better off dead. No one cares about you. You’ll always be alone. Things will never get better.” And you believe them. You’re unmotivated. There are so many things you want to do. You truly want life to get better. But at the same time, you just don’t care. You don’t want to do anything. It’s not worth the effort. You ask yourself, “What’s the point?” You convince yourself that nothing matters. You’ll still be miserable. You’re tired, sluggish. There’s no excitement in life. Every day seems to drag on and on. You’re existence seems meaningless. If you work, you’re counting the hours before you go home and get in bed. If you don’t, you’re unable to get out of bed. The bed is comforting. It’s like a sanctuary or a safe space. You’re shielded from the world but blanketed in sorrow. Then you have to face the stigma. Not everyone understands depression. They think you need to pull yourself together. They think you’re weak. Well-meaning people might tell you to exercise or pray or go out and have fun. But it all falls on deaf ears. The only thing you can hear is the sound of your own thoughts telling you how you’re less than. So the worst thing about depression? You feel broken, trapped, and alone.
