According to DSM-IV:

Major Depression (single episode or recurrent): severe depression.

Dysthymic Disorder: chronic depression for many years, not as severe as Major Depression.

Depressive DIsorder Not Otherwise Specified: depression that needs treatment but doesn't fit the full criteria for the other types.

Adjustment Disorder WIth Depressed Mood: the person is clinically depressed because of a life situation.

Depression can also be part of other disorders such as Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia, etc. It can also be the result of a physical medical condition or drug abuse.
