Depressive Disorder and You

How do you know if you have major depressive order or you just have the blues? If your depression doesn’t go away on its own it will probably require treatment. Serious depression lasts and can’t be pushed aside by ordinary means. If the depressed feeling you have has been with you for more than two weeks you could have depressive disorder. How deeply you feel the depression also makes a difference. Is it interfering in your life? The blues come and go and can sometimes last two weeks or more. But the blues are milder and more a feeling of light melancholy than one of despair. Feeling that way shouldn’t interfere with your day to day functioning. When it’s more than the blues, your life changes, often dramatically. If you’ve stopped going to work, stopped going out and seeing friends, stopped caring about your relationships and have lost interest in most things you used to enjoy, you need to call Sunset Malibu for help.
