There are two kinds of depression: The sad type, called major depression, dysthymia or reactive depression, and manic-depression or bipolar illness, when feeling down and depressed exchange with being accelerated and sometimes acting uncontrolled. Major depression is when five or more symptoms of depression are present for at least two weeks. These symptoms contain in a feeling sad, hopeless, worthless, or pessimistic. As well, people with major depression often have behavior changes, such as new eating and sleeping patterns. Major depression increases a person's risk of suicide. Dysthymic Disorder is distinguished by chronic depression, but with less severity than a major depression. The essential symptom for dysthymic disorder is an almost daily depressed mood for at least two years, but without the necessary criteria for a major depression. Low energy, sleep or appetite disturbances and low self-esteem are usually part of the clinical picture as well. If anyone has any of these different kinds of symptoms, and they've lasted several weeks, or causes a big change the person’s everyday life, it would be necessary to get help, like a psychologist, or your school counselor. Many people may get depressed, but it mainly hits on teenagers. Teenagers also have problems with alcohol or other drugs. (Alcohol is a drug, too.) Sometimes the depression comes first and people try drugs as a way to run away. Teenagers may get depressed for the reasons that their parents might be getting a divorce or because of major financial problems. Another reason is either a loved one died or may be dying or if his or her girlfriend/boyfriend broke up with them. Frequently teens act in response to the pain of depression by getting into a lot of trouble, for example it may led to alcohol, drugs, or sex, this will make them have an effect in school (bad grades). Nearly everyone who is depressed doesn’t commit suicide. Depression has increased the danger of committing suicide or suicide attempts. People
