Depression

Picture this: you're stuck in an endless storm, with heavy clouds and a world painted in shades of gray. But remember, you're not alone in this.

This storm is what we call depression, a mood disorder that drenches you in ongoing sadness and a lack of interest in life.

As the National Institutes of Health points out, depression is like a puzzle made up of biological, genetic, psychological, and societal pieces.

Let's break down depression into three main elements:

-You view yourself negatively: "I don't matter"

-You feel hopeless: "There's no way out"

-You feel isolated: "No one cares about me"

Depression can sneak up on anyone, regardless of their life situation. It could be triggered by environmental factors or due to an imbalance in your brain chemicals.

Our team of caring therapists is here to help you weather this storm.

We'll work with you to uncover the root cause of your depression and create a tailor-made plan to guide you towards brighter days.

So, when should you think about getting therapy for depression?

Depression shows up differently for everyone, but some common signs are:

-Feeling unmotivated

-Ongoing sadness or feelings of worthlessness

-Thoughts of suicide

-Becoming more dependent on others

-Avoiding situations or people

-Pulling away from social activities

-Changes in weight

-Feeling worn out

-Being emotionally numb

If these symptoms hang around for more than two months, start messing with your daily life, or lead to thoughts of harming yourself, it might be time to seek professional help.

Many people try to brush off their feelings of depression, telling themselves they don't need therapy. But realizing you could use some professional help is an important first step towards recovery.

If your feelings of depression are becoming too tough to handle on your own, it's time to consider therapy.1 Column
