I chose to talk about a type of depression: atypical depression. Atypical depression affects 15-36% of people with a depressive disorder, so it is quite common as millions of people have depressive disorders. People with this kind of depression can have symptoms such as a greater appetite that leads to overeating, hypersomnia, leaden paralysis, and greater sensitivity to criticism whether it's real or imagined. Another symptom is for your mood to improve in response to actual or potential positive events also known as mood reactivity. Some things that could cause this depression is trauma, genetics and chronic stress and/or an illness. Psychotherapy and medication like antidepressants are able to treat it. A few of the preventative measures are to manage stress and talk about your feelings with someone you trust as well as seeking the help of a medical profession.
