Triumph After Trauma

Ep. 90: Understanding Types of Depression We Can Be Diagnosed With (Pt. 1 of 2)

Kaitlin McAloney Episode 90

Welcome back to the podcast friends!

If you're new here, I'm so glad you found the show and we're now connected!

Last week we spoke about different anxiety disorders us humans can be diagnosed with, and dove into signs/symptoms and treatment options for each of them. Over the next two episodes, we'll be having important conversations about the types of depression we can be diagnosed with. 

Being a human who is diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety, and dysthymia (a mild but long lasting form of depression) it's important we talk about these things. There are more anxiety disorders and types of depression than people realize; I believe the more people who are willing to learn about and understand this, the more compassion there could be in this world. 

In this first of a two part episode we'll dive into a deep conversation about major depression, seasonal effective disorder (SAD), psychotic depression, post-partum depression, bipolar depression, and dysthymia. I hope these conversations help you understand mental illnesses better, or make struggles you may be facing make more sense.
