Depression Help - Avoid Reactive Depression by Learning to Cope Positively With Life Changes

Avoid Reactive Depression by Learning to Cope Positively With Life Changes

Reactive depression as the name implies is depression in direct relation to some event in a person's life. It is also called adjustment disorder with depressed mood.

The symptoms of reactive depression can last for a relatively short period of time, from two weeks to six months, however if the cause is still present treatment can last much longer.

Unlike most types of depression, the person normally gets over reactive depression on their own as they learn to cope with the event that causes it.

Depression does not discriminate: Age and Gender in Depression

Because it is misunderstood, childhood depression is often misdiagnosed. Childhood depression goes far beyond just being sad. A depressed child loses interest in things they normally enjoy doing, wants to be alone and rarely laughs aloud.

Depression in teenagers/adolescents is pretty common. Teenage girls are at higher risk of becoming depressed than boys. Depressed teens tend to exhibit anti-social behavior and many abuse drugs, alcohol and/or smoke.

Depression later in life is not easily identified because many diseases that affect the elderly mask the symptoms of depression. Unlike in other age groups, older persons (over 60) suffer from depression are more likely to commit or try to commit suicide.
