Understanding Depression

Depression is much more than simply having a bad day. It can affect the way you think, feel, and interact with the world around you. Everyone experiences depression differently, and symptoms can range from mild to severe.

​

Some common signs include:

  • Persistent sadness or hopelessness

  • Loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed

  • Low energy or constant fatigue

  • Difficulty concentrating

  • Changes in appetite or sleep

  • Feeling overwhelmed or emotionally numb

  • Increased irritability or frustration

  • Feelings of guilt or worthlessness

​

If these feelings have been affecting your daily life, therapy can provide a safe space to begin healing.
