Situational Depression

Situational depression describes when an individual has a short-term episode of depression symptoms correlated with increased stress. This form of depression usually affects an individual after they have been a part of a traumatic event or series of events. This form of depression is considered to be a form of adjustment disorder, making it difficult for an individual to adapt to their everyday activities and duties after a traumatic event. Common events that can produce situational depression include problems at school, illness, the birth of a baby, natural disaster, living in an unsafe area, financial difficulties, moving, relationship problems, and problems at work. Symptoms of situational depression include sadness, lack of enjoyment of regular activities, constant worrying, disinterest in food, hopelessness, regular crying, feeling anxious, problems focusing, feeling overwhelmed, not paying bills, thoughts of suicide, and difficulties with sleep.
