Depression isn't a one-size-fits-all diagnosis. Find out about the different depression types & where you can go for help if you need it
One in four people will experience a mental health problem at some point in their lives. Thankfully, we’re all more aware of how important it is to open up if we’re struggling – which is amazing. Although mental health is a super-hot topic of conversation, sometimes it can be difficult to know if how we’re feeling is something we need to speak up about and ask for help.
Most people go through periods of feeling down. It’s totally normal. But if the feelings are interfering with your life and don't go away after a couple of weeks, it could be a sign of depression. It’s important to always speak to your GP if you've noticed changes in the way you are thinking or feeling and you’re worried about your mental health.
Depression isn't a one-size-fits-all diagnosis. It’s an umbrella term and the condition can be split into many different types. Let’s run through them and chat about where to get the help you need if you’re struggling.
