Depressive disorders

If you have a mood disorder such as depression, you will tend to feel mainly negative emotions (more sadness, guilt, shame, anger, boredom), as if a filter had been set up between your perception and your environment, and to downplay, or even hide, the positive emotions and events you are actually experiencing.
 
To speak of a mood disorder, the intensity of the various symptoms must cause great level of pain and impact the functioning of the person in the various spheres of his or her life (school, work, relationships with others, leisure activities, etc.).

Commonly called "depression", it is a disorder that lasts for at least 2 weeks, during which the depressed mood lingers almost every day and all day long: you feel sad, empty, hopeless, you cry very easily. Sometimes it might come out as irritability and anger. You lose pleasure in all or almost all activities: the little things that you used to enjoy or that made you smile are no longer enjoyable. You might isolate yourself, withdraw and cut yourself off from everything that used to make you feel good.

Being depressed leads to food disorder (decrease or increase in appetite), associated with weight loss or gain. It will also have an effect on sleep (insomnia or hypersomnia). You might feel tired and lose energy, feel agitated or slowed down.

It is also difficult to think or concentrate. Negative thoughts about the world, yourself and others take up a lot of space in your mind, leading to feelings of worthlessness or excessive guilt, low self-esteem, or recurrent thoughts of death and suicide, which can go as far as attempted suicide and suicide.

It is a depressive disorder where symptoms are less intense than in diagnosed depressive disorder, but last for several years.

Depressive symptoms presented above last for the majority of menstrual cycles, in the week preceding your period and until the first days of your period. It is mainly characterized by emotional instability, with sudden movements of emotions ranging from feelings of sadness, despair, and anxiety to irritability and anger.
