There are essentially two kinds of depression, reactive and chronic. Reactive depression occurrs as a result of trauma or life changes which may have an immediate and upsetting effect on a person. This is a rational response and we will all experience this at some time in our lives unless we are particularly forunate and never experience any life trauma.
The second type of depression is chronic depression and this can be caused either by an inital reactive depression which extends outwards to become chronic or unresolved. Depression can also have no readily definable cause and this is not unusual.
Depression is a very strong emotional response which can make life incredibly uncomfortable for the sufferer. Very often it can seem difficult for people to see their way through to any end in the depressive cycle.
