Anxiety Panic Attacks - Major Depression: Severe Type Of Depression

Major Depression: Severe Type Of Depression

Major depression is a very harsh type of depression and has most of the symptoms of depression present, which are often more intense and severe. Major depression may be due to some traumatic event in the patient’s life or may slowly but surely develop due to a number of personal disappointments as well as other problems in the patient’s life. There are instances when a person may develop symptoms of major depression without any apparent crisis in their lives and there are also patients who have less severe symptoms which last for an extended period of time and when a crisis does occur in their lives, the symptoms increase greatly.

Result Of Major Trauma

It is possible for major depression to happen just once due to a major psychological trauma which, when treated, responds and goes away and is known as a single episode. People may also have recurring depression where depressive episodes may be followed by years without feeling depressed and then an instance of the depression episode returns, usually because of another trauma and this is known as recurrent depression.

There may be a combination of symptoms that pertain to major depression and which may occur together and may last for a minimum of two weeks when there would not be any major improvement in the condition. Most of the symptoms of major depression include persistently feeling sad, depressed, anxious or empty headed, feeling useless and without any worth and helpless or feeling too much of guilt, which is inappropriate. The future also seems bleak and feelings of excessive pessimism are present in the patient who may also suffer a loss of interest and pleasure from daily activities and energy levels are substantially reduced, with feelings of chronic fatigue.

The patient may not be able to remember things and memory is generally poor and making decisions as well as concentrating is difficult for the patient who may also feel very irritable, restless or agitated. Difficulty in getting enough sleep or sleeping over the limits and having reduced appetite as well as generally not being interested in food or eating too much, resulting in putting on too much weight, are some other symptoms of major depression, which also includes recurring thoughts concerning death or thinking about suicide are other symptoms of major depression.

Some patients of major depression may describe themselves to find it very hard to get out of bed in the morning and feel tired all day and when night falls, sleep seems to elude them. There may be vagueness and staring at the ceiling and wondering about what has happened to them and what would become of him or her. Everything seems very depressing and so, talking to someone who can help or consulting a psychologist may be a way of changing this disorder.
