5 Types of Depressive Disorders

Depression is often a misunderstood disorder. Many people believe that being depressed you must fall into the “typical depression category”. Meaning that the person must be all sad looking, and feel numb inside, but that is so far from the truth. Depression has sub disorders that help explain the different symptoms, the severity of it, and the scenarios in which it’s presented.We created a list of the different types of depressive disorder with its symptoms to further your understanding. Hope you enjoy! Think of this video as a mini crash course.

YouTube is more concerned about me than my own parents....

[clautelloo]

when your too scared to tell you parents that you think your depressed

[honorrrrrrr]

me: i think i'm depressed.
my doctor: stop playing the victim card, you have a good home life.

[theirapathy]

me: has all symptoms of mdd
me too: you’re just being dramatic again. you still laugh at memes and you laugh sometimes with your family

[mydoodles]

"stop it then"

-my mother

[ellawilliams]

It's easier to say "I'm fine" then trying to explain how you're feel although you don't know yourself..

[Theakritas_]

Me : *has depressive symptoms*

My parents : *ITS BECAUSE OF THOSE DAMN PHONE AND CONSOLES*

[btsaoty]

"you can't be depressed!!!! you laughed yesterday 🤩✌️"
— my mom.

I don‘t talk about my feelings, Because I don't want to annoy people with my problems..

My last girlfriend had PMDD. She was going through it when she killed herself 6 years ago. Her anxiety was so intense it'd make her paranoid. She would break up with me every time she was going through it because she was afraid I thought she was beneath me. When she told me that I just responded 'only when it comes to height...' But afterwards she would apologize and ask for me to come back. I was confused the first couple times but after I realized and knew she just wasn't herself so I wouldn't judge her based off that. I didn't really care what she thought of herself, I loved her more than any other girl I dated. When she wasn't having an episode she was so amazing. But when I heard she ended it I was devastated. I didn't cut my hair for 4 years, quit working out, I changed completely. I suppose one good thing is I'm at a point where I can talk about it now.

My heart goes out to anyone who has PMDD. It's a really horrible thing to go through.

[stargazerc]

Me: *show every single one of these symptoms*
My friends: You alright?
Me: Oh yeah my dude Im good.

It's weird for me because I'm often smiling and happy but as soon as I'm on my own I'm like an empty husk. I distract myself from my own thoughts through YouTube videos (pathetic, I know)
Sometimes it gets so bad I want to scream or rip something up, but sometimes (though it's pretty rare) I'm laughing and hugging people and happy with my life.
I hate reaching out to people about this because I keep thinking "what if I'm just being dramatic? What if it's not as serious as I thought? There are so many people worse than me that I should just bear it by myself"
My mum made me talk to a therapist a while back because it was Father's Day and I lost my father when I was 7. There were so many feelings that the therapist unlocked that I didn't know even existed, it was scary.
I think the best way to describe what I'm feeling is a constant state of boredom. I ask myself what I'm waiting for or what I'd like to do, maybe wait for tomorrow, sleep, wait for my birthday. Recently I haven't looked forward to any of that, I've just looked forward to the day I die.
And it's weird, because depressed people are portrayed as emotionless or in a constant state of sadness, and I'm not like that.
I don't know if I'm depressed or not, but self diagnosis definitely won't help me.
Great video either way, good job psych 2 go

I have major depression disorder.
I feel sick continuously.
I feel hopeless all the time.
I cry a lot but try not to.
I want to die.
But I won’t hurt myself.
I feel empty.
I feel like the world is dragging me down.
I feel like I am not good enough.
This has been going on for a while now but has been getting worse everyday.

Yes, I was diagnosed with it...
But just being diagnosed does nothing but let myself know,
I am sad for no reason...

[chloemarler]

Me: I think I have depression..

Mom: Happiness is a choice. So just stop.

[aimimi]

My depression: wants me to hurt myself
My anxiety: afraid to hurt myself
Me:
Me again: pick one goddammit.

Depression isn’t “I’m sad” it’s “ I wish I could be happy”

[doggointhefroggo]
