My episodes of severe depression started after the birth of my first child and was similar to Post Partum Psychosis, since then, it's opened the door to major depressive episodes ever since.
My problem is that I don't know what category my type of depression is anymore and was hoping someone here might recognize it.....I've dealt with about 4 severe depressions in the last 10 years and they all start the same way - I'll be having a great day, be in a better than normal mood, no stressors, when a strange sensation will happen in my head that feels like when you stand up too quickly and just like that, within minutes, I'm spiraling down into a severe depression that can only be resolved with meds. The way this begins is what has me baffled - it happens this way every time, always when I'm my happiest and most content.
Any help would be so appreciated right now as it happened again yesterday after being free from it for 3 years now.
