Risk Factors
Diagnosis
Depressive Disorders encompass a range of conditions characterized primarily by prolonged periods of persistent sadness, despair, and loss of interest or pleasure in usual activities.
The most common form is Major Depressive Disorder, which impacts all elements of life from mood to thinking, behavior, and physical health for weeks or months at a time. Additional key signs like feelings of guilt, worthlessness, low energy, poor concentration, disrupted sleep, and suicidal ideation typically emerge as well.
Depression symptoms vary by individual, but common symptoms include:
- Persistent sadness, hopelessness, or emptiness
- Feeling numb or disconnected
- A sense of overwhelming guilt or worthlessness
- Low energy or fatigue, even after rest
- Changes in sleep patterns
- Appetite changes
- Difficulty concentrating, making decisions, or remembering things
- Pessimistic thoughts
- Withdrawal from social activities
- Lack of interest or pleasure in activities
- A decline in work or school performance
Experts don’t know what exactly risk factors can cause depression and depressive disorders, but there are studies that show biological and environmental factors do increase your risk of feeling depressed.
If someone in your family has depression, you are 2-4x more likely to develop it as well. This familial connection links to inherited brain chemistry, stress system regulation, trauma, neglect, loss, and other emotional factors and learned coping behaviors.
Environmental factors like poverty also increase your risk of developing a depressive disorder.
Additionally, hormone changes, as seen premenstrual, postpartum, or perimenopause, can trigger depressive episodes in some women.
Getting an accurate diagnosis of the type and severity of Depressive Disorders is critical in directing effective treatment. Our team of health professionals and therapists complete a full psychological evaluation that assesses your family history and screens for substance use and medical conditions that could contribute to symptoms.

More About NateWhen is inpatient or residential treatment appropriate for depressive disorders?
Inpatient or residential treatment is necessary when Depressive Disorders severely impair daily functioning or when there’s a risk of harm to oneself. This level of care is suitable for intense, persistent symptoms unresponsive to outpatient treatments, providing a structured environment, intensive therapy, and continuous support.
Do you accept my insurance for your depressive disorder treatments?
Most likely, yes! Cornerstone accepts most major insurances. To be sure, you can fill out our commitment-free form to verify your coverage.
What level of care is needed to treat depressive disorders?
The required level of care for Depressive Disorder varies based on symptom severity and impact. Outpatient therapy, including psychotherapy and medication management, is often sufficient for mild to moderate depression. More severe cases, particularly those involving co-occurring mental health issues or substance abuse, may need more intensive outpatient programs or inpatient care. Consulting with a mental health professional is crucial to determine the most effective treatment plan.
How can I support a loved one with depression?
Supporting someone with Depressive Disorder involves empathy, patience, and encouragement. Listen actively and offer reassurance. Encourage seeking professional help and accompany them to appointments if possible. Educating yourself about Depressive Disorders helps in understanding their challenges. Most importantly, let them know they are not alone, and their feelings are valid and important.
