What some of the different types of depression?
Depression strikes in several forms and may include a number of diagnostic terms — such as bipolar, clinical, endogenous, major, melancholic, or unipolar — to describe it. These terms can be confusing because they can overlap, or include more than one diagnosis, since the illness is often linked with other problems, such as alcoholism or other substance abuses, eating disorders, or anxiety disorders. The term “clinical depression” means the depression is severe enough to require treatment.
