Types of Depression

Depression can develop as a primary disorder in response to a stressful or traumatic life event. Some people also have a higher risk of depression due to genetic or lifestyle factors.

Depression can also develop as a co-occurring disorder. For instance, depression can be triggered by drug or alcohol abuse or addiction. Mental illness such as an anxiety disorder, personality disorder or an eating disorder can also lead to depression.

Common types of depression include:

Major Depression: This common form causes intense and persistent feelings of sadness and hopelessness. Other symptoms of major depression include feelings of shame and guilt, changes in sleep and appetite and fatigue or low energy.

Persistent Depressive Disorder (Dysthymia): Dysthymia leads to a low mood that lasts at least two years. People with persistent depressive disorder feel joyless most of the time and often have low self-esteem. Fatigue, appetite changes and sleep changes are also common.

Postpartum Depression: This kind of depression can develop during the first year after giving birth. Hormonal changes that occur during and after pregnancy are the likely trigger. Postpartum depression causes symptoms like those of classic depression.

Why Is Depression Treatment So Important?

Depression can have a major impact on daily life. It affects your ability to carry out normal activities and work productively. It may affect personal and professional relationships or your ability to enjoy life.

People with untreated depression also have a higher risk of cardiovascular disease and heart attack. In cases of severe depression, there is a risk of self-harm or suicide.

Lucida Depression Treatment Center Program

Before Treatment

People with a co-occurring alcohol or drug addiction may need to undergo a medical detox before they start their depression treatment program. In medical detox, the client safely withdraws from alcohol or drugs under medical supervision.

If you need to undergo detox before you come to Lucida, we can recommend a trusted local detox facility.

Your Depression Rehab Treatment Plan

Start your stay at Lucida with a personal assessment interview. At this interview, we’ll explore your personal, medical and psychological history to learn more about you and your depression. This approach helps us design a treatment plan that addresses your unique situation and needs.

We’ll assign a treatment team based on your assessment. This team includes a therapist and psychiatrist as well as one or more nurses. You’ll work with this team throughout your entire stay.
