Depression Therapy

What is Depression?

When our mood changes, it can be disorienting, destabilizing, and even debilitating. Maybe you are afraid of falling into a dark place, or maybe you are already there. Depression drains our energy and hope. It can also disrupt the basic rhythms that normally help us recharge: sleep, metabolism, hormones, focus, exercise, social interaction. It’s not uncommon for low mood to trigger a domino effect that impacts relationships, work, health, and sense of self.

Signs of Depression

Sometimes we know we have depression while at other times we struggle to know what is going on with us. Here are some common signs and symptoms of depression with which you might be struggling.

• Feeling unusually sad and tearful for reasons you don’t fully understand.
• Feeling numb or irritable, like you’re just going through the motions.
• Not enjoying things that normally interest and energize you.
• Difficulty keeping up with work or relationships like you used to.
• A persistent sense of emptiness about the world and bleakness about the future.
• Thoughts and feelings that keep getting caught in worthlessness or guilt.
• Thinking that feels foggy and it’s hard to concentrate or make decisions
• Thinking seriously about death or suicide.
• Feeling so alone, like others are unable to ever connect with you.
