June 7, 2010 in Depression | Comments (6)

I wnat to know the difference and is clincical depression the same as chronic depression?
Im 14 F
And i have been diagnosed with chronic depression and in not sure what exactly that means?
And what the differance between normal depression and chronic dep
Thanks
I have taken a number of anti depressants (zoloft, wellbeautrin, prozac, trazdon, and now serequal)

Normal depression would be over a situation or trauma such as a parent dying. In that situation you may go through a period of varying degrees of depression for maybe a year or less. Antidepressants help both kinds. Chronic depression is more clinical rather than situational meaning the serotonin levels in the brain are naturally low for some reason and they need to be addressed with long term medication, perhaps for life but not necessarily. I hope you haven’t but if you have been subjected to abuse of any kind be honest with you doctor about it if at all possible. This is very important. The antidepressants won’t work to cover up feelings and these type go deep within you. Anyway , best of luck to you. You are young and have a whole wonderful life ahead of you. Choose happiness for your mood for yourself as often as you can, it really is a choice. ;~)

    Chronic depression is a long lasting type of clinical depression, it is usually caused by underlying factors and antidepressants can be tried. It is quite rare at only 14.

    chronic is not necessarily more severe but it pretty much means you will most likely have to take medication for it.
    depression itself could come from anything and usually doesn’t need medication. it could occur from stress, an occurance, and its one of the five stages of coping.
    both are bad, but chronic i’d say is a more medically involved.
