To tell endogenous depression from reactive depression
Sometimes it is difficult to tell endogenous depression from reactive depression. But there is the number of characteristics that help to do that.
Reactive or situational depression usually doesn't have genetic factors in its origins and there is connection with the certain stress situation. It develops after and in the result of the mental trauma.
The intensiveness of reactions of depression depends on the strength of stress and the sensitiveness of people to it. The bad mood gets worse to the evening. Not considering the low self-appraisal, the awareness of disease is kept. During such depression there is no decrease of the movements speed but a person gets tired soon. A person doesn't feel guilty but considers environment to be guilty. A person often cries.
Endogenous depression is often the result of genetic hereditary. The stable changes in mood without any reason are characteristic for people sometimes they even depend on the season. Sometimes the beginning of depression is connected with the stress event but then the connection with bad mood is decreased. There is no coincidence between the level of depression and the power of stress.
In evening mood may improve but not for a long time. Usually a person doesn't consider he/she is ill. A person always feels tired and his/her movements become slower. Such people never cry but it is easy to notice that they are feeling guilty. Usually such depression is not accompanied with the body diseases.
