What Is the Most Common and Effective Treatment for Depression

There are a variety of treatment options for depression, and chances are you'll find one - or a combination - that works for you. Most Common and Effective Treatment for Depression Research studies do not predict individual responses to any specific depression treatment. In other words, just because a treatment works for some (or even most) people, doesn't mean it will work for you. It's important to keep this in mind if you or a loved one are undergoing treatment for depression, as the first treatment or series of treatments may not be effective. Depression is a complex illness. Most physicians practicing today believe that it is caused by a combination of biological (including genetic and bacterial), social, and psychological factors.

Bipolar Disorder Type 1: Symptoms, Treatment, Risk, Prevention

Bipolar Disorder Type 1 Bipolar disorder type 1 – also called manic depression or manic depressive disorder – is a so-called “brain illness” that is characterized by manic or mixed episodes that people experience at least once in their life. The manic phase of bipolar disorder is also characterized by an episode of feeling "high", or an overly happy or outgoing mood associated with high-risk behaviors, such as spending sprees, impulsive sex, and impulsive business investments. The vast majority of people who suffer from bipolar disorder type 1 also experience depressive phases that mostly function according to a given pattern alternating between mania and depression periods. However, a great number of the people affected by bipolar disorder type 1 can still enjoy a ‘normal’ life between the respective episodes of mania and depression.

Bipolar Disorder Type 2: Symptoms, Treatment, Risk, Prevention

Bipolar Disorder Type 2 Bipolar disorder type 2 is a so-called “brain illness” that is characterized by a combination of depressive episodes and hypomanic episodes. Bipolar disorder type 2 is basically very similar to bipolar disorder type 1 . The manic phase of bipolar disorder type 2 is also characterized by an episode of feeling "high" alternating with low moods. Bipolar disorder type 2 does not cause full-blown manic or mixed episodes, but hypomania which is a milder form of mania. In bipolar disorder 2, the periods of depression are usually experienced for a longer time than those of hypomania. Women tend to be more affected by bipolar disorder type 2. The people suffering from this disorder may be more irritable and show an elevated mood but they can – in most cases – assume their usual daily work or routine in between their episodes of hypomania and their phases of depression. Who is at risk for bipolar disorder type 2 No special group of people is particularly at risk
