Psychiatry often adopts words with common meanings and gives them changed or unfamiliar interpretations. In everyday language "depression" often refers to a transitory downturn in mood, perhaps due to something as trivial as your team losing. Psychiatry has no need of this sense of "depression", but uses the term to refer to an illness signifying a severe emotional disturbance. There are several terms which describe different kinds of depressive illnesses:
- manic depression
- clinical depression
- endogenous depression
- reactive or neurotic depression
- atypical depression
- psychotic depression
