What is Depression?

At Society Wellness, we understand that depression is more than just feeling sad or down. Depression is a serious mental health condition that affects how a person feels, thinks, and functions in daily life. It can manifest as persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or a lack of interest in activities that were once enjoyable. Depression can also lead to physical symptoms such as fatigue, changes in appetite, and difficulty sleeping or concentrating. At Society Wellness, we provide compassionate, LGBTQ+ affirming care to help individuals manage their depression and regain a sense of balance and well-being in their lives.

What causes Depression?

Depression can be caused by a variety of factors, and at Society Wellness, we recognize the unique challenges faced by LGBTQ+ individuals. Common causes include genetics, brain chemistry imbalances, and major life changes, such as loss or trauma. LGBTQ+ individuals may also experience depression as a result of discrimination, social stigma, or family rejection. Additionally, chronic stress, substance abuse, or untreated mental health conditions can contribute to the development of depression. Understanding the root causes is an important step toward healing, and at Society Wellness, we provide compassionate, inclusive care to address these complex factors.

Different Types of Depression

At Society Wellness, we recognize that depression can manifest in various forms, and each type requires specialized care. Here are some common types of depression that we treat:

  • Major Depressive Disorder (MDD): Characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a lack of interest or pleasure in activities for most of the day, nearly every day, for at least two weeks.

  • Persistent Depressive Disorder (PDD): Also known as dysthymia, PDD is a long-term form of depression where symptoms are less severe but last for at least two years, leading to chronic sadness and low energy.

  • Bipolar Disorder: This condition involves cycles of depression and mania or hypomania. During depressive episodes, individuals may experience symptoms similar to major depression.

  • Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): SAD is a type of depression that typically occurs during the winter months when daylight is limited. It often causes fatigue, low mood, and withdrawal from social activities.

  • Postpartum Depression: Occurs after childbirth and is marked by feelings of extreme sadness, anxiety, and exhaustion that can interfere with a new mother’s ability to care for herself or her baby.

  • Situational Depression: Triggered by a specific life event, such as the loss of a loved one, job loss, or a major life transition. Although temporary, the symptoms can be overwhelming.


Each type of depression requires tailored treatment, and Society Wellness provides personalized care to help individuals navigate their mental health journey.

  • Changes in appetite or weight, either increased or decreased.
  • Trouble sleeping or oversleeping.

These symptoms can deeply affect daily life, and at Society Wellness, we provide specialized support to help individuals in the LGBTQ+ community navigate depression and begin the path to healing.
