According to research, depressive disorders are more likely to appear in twins and first-degree relatives, meaning parents, siblings, and children. Evidence suggests that certain genes influence serotonin production and transmission in the brain, which may increase the risk of depression. This means that a vulnerability to this mental illness can be inherited, and it may be expressed if other contributing factors are also present.<\/p><p>Of course, we also have to consider each person\u2019s personality and temperament, which significantly shape their psychological experience. It seems that people who naturally have low self-confidence and self-esteem, who experience excessive anxiety, who are characterized by negative thinking, and who tend to interpret events in their lives in a distrustful or pessimistic way, have a higher likelihood of developing depression. Biological factors also influence depressive symptoms when levels of certain mood-regulating brain chemicals are low.<\/p><p>We also cannot ignore social and cultural factors, everyday circumstances, and the broader environment around us. It makes sense that if you are dealing with difficult situations, major financial problems, anxiety, a breakup, or the death of a loved one, you may have a higher risk of developing depression compared to the general population. The same applies to people who are isolated or belong to minority groups, and to those who have no support and feel alone. Stereotypes, discrimination, and social pressure can also negatively affect mental health and intensify depressive symptoms.<\/p><p>In any case, for someone to develop a Depressive Disorder, it typically involves:<\/p><ol><li>Experiencing intense stressors and negatively charged social and psychological circumstances.<\/li><li>Certain processes being activated in the brain.<\/li><li>Genetic factors that can make the person more sensitive and vulnerable to the events above.<\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-db199b7 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"db199b7\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-139df96 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"139df96\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What are Depressive Disorders?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-56aa1db elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"56aa1db\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/mytherapist.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/depression-types-1024x576.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1129\" alt=\"Depressive Disorders mytherapist\u00a9\" srcset=\"\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" title=\"Depressive Disorders - mytherapist\u00a9\" data-srcset=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-43fb164 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"43fb164\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>What many people don\u2019t realize is that \u201cDepressive Disorder\u201d is not just one condition.

It is characterized by sadness and despair, fatigue, reduced concentration and attention, weight loss or gain, insomnia or an excessive desire to sleep, thoughts of death, and more. Research suggests that, on average, the first depressive episode occurs between the ages of 25 and 29, and it is slightly more common in women.<\/p><p class=\"translation-block\">Another well-known form is <b>Persistent Depressive Disorder<\/b>, also known as <b>Dysthymia<\/b>. For this diagnosis, symptoms must last at least two years, with generally milder symptoms than Major Depressive Disorder, but with a longer duration over time. Fatigue and exhaustion can be prominent, as well as low self-esteem and negative thoughts about the self, others, and the future. More broadly, there is reduced concentration, difficulty making even simple decisions, and a sense of hopelessness.<\/p><p class=\"translation-block\"><b>Perinatal or Postpartum Depression<\/b> is also very common and concerns women exclusively. As the name suggests, it refers to depression that appears during pregnancy or after childbirth. Symptoms include intense sadness, fatigue and exhaustion, indifference, anxiety and guilt, and changes in sleep and appetite. Women may experience intense anxiety about caring for their baby, or alternatively, a lack of interest and feelings of being a \u201cbad mother.\u201d These emotions can intensify guilt and shame, making postpartum depression even more distressing for both the mother and her child.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3ad5bf22 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"3ad5bf22\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-22a33e08 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"22a33e08\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2c2c3adf elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2c2c3adf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">If you are experiencing any of the symptoms above, if you have negative thoughts about yourself or your child, or if you struggle with daily baby care due to intense exhaustion, contact one of our specialised therapists.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ef1003d elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"ef1003d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm elementor-animation-float\" href=\"\/en\/web-app\/\" id=\"cta-button-article\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Find your therapist<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0dc7adf e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"0dc7adf\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9c017e0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9c017e0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>There are also other Depressive Disorders that may not be as well known or as common, but they still affect part of the population.
