Color II: Caramel

The caramel color of depression is the person who fails to accept the mood disorder. Typically classified as Workaholics, they usually bury themselves in work, leaving home early and staying late at work. They tend to utilize the cardinal defense of humor. They do not sleep, have a lot of guilt, and tend to rationalize their sadness. This works well for them because they will not have to take a closer look at themselves as long as this defense works. This group of individuals may be scary because when they crash, they burn.

Flavor II: Spicy

This group of individuals is always, always irritable. They have problems maintaining their focus, are high in distractibility, have a decreased need for sleep, experience grandiose thoughts and are, at times, hypersexual. This can be the most deadly type of depression, Bipolar Depression. Be careful; a lot of characters like to pass their self-diagnosis off as Attention Deficit Disorder. It is usually not the case, and a quick evaluation by a board certified psychiatrist is essential.
