Although there are several different types of depression
that have been identified, there are only two different types
of this mood disorder that originate from anxiety. These two
types of depression are Akathitic depression and Agitated
depression.
One symptom that is common to both of these types of
depression is suffering from a phobia of a specific situation
or object. Many times this comes from a person's mind
wandering, which leads to a fear that isn't rational or doesn't
make sense to others.
The Agitated type of depression is much more common
than the Akathitic type. Basically, the Akithitic type is only
a "state" of depression which looks to be identical to an
anxiety attack, but without any symptoms of panic.
Agitated depression presents itself as anxiety, but there
are other "qualifying factors" that must be met before the
person can be diagnosed as being Agitated. A minimum of two of
the following symptoms must be met in order for the person to
be diagnosed with "Psychomotor Retardation" or Agitatated Major
Depression Disorder.
#1. The person is unable to sit still or appears extremely
hyperactive.
#2. The person may constantly pace back and forth.
#3. They may keep talking on and on and may have sudden
outbursts.
#4. Any type of repetitious, nervous activity such as
continually playing with their hair or clothes.
These conditions must continue for several days before the
person can be diagnosed with Agitated Depressive Disorder.
