Some other types of depression are anxiety depression, chronic depression, atypical depression, reactive depression, psychotic depression, agitated depression, melancholic depression and catatonic depression. Anxiety depression is not an official type of depression. But, anxiety always occurs with depression. A depressed person may experience anxiety symptoms such as panic attacks or anxiety disorders such as social phobia, panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder. Some of the symptoms of atypical depression are oversleeping, heavy feelings in legs or arms and significant weight gain or increase in appetite. Endogenous depression is another type where a person feels depressed for no apparent reason. Psychotic depression causes major depressive episode with some psychotic symptoms such as delusions and hallucinations.
The treatment for mood disorder includes a combination of antidepressant medications and different therapies such as psychotherapy or talk therapy. Electroconvulsive therapy, light therapy, Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) therapy and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation therapy are some of the other forms of depression treatments
