Close Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionIdentity is typically a problem. With psychosis I also add to the question: Who am I? Known to be a problem with those who have been sexually abused. A good identity is being a person with a positive future. A bad identity is being someone doomed for- ever ( like going to hell ). What a thing to be thought. A dark cloud that comes and goes.
